[PATCH] Get modpost to work properly with vmlinux in a different directory

["Bryan O'Sullivan" <bos@pathscale.com>]

This is pretty trivial.  The current version of modpost breaks if
invoked from outside the build tree.  This patch fixes that, and
simplifies the code a bit while it's at it.

Since it's not critical, I'd call it a contender for -mm and 2.6.1.
