Masahiro Yamada 74ee585b7e kbuild: remove trailing slashes from $(KBUILD_EXTMOD) 
M= (or KBUILD_EXTMOD) generally expects a directory path without any
trailing slashes, like M=a/b/c.

If you add a trailing slash, like M=a/b/c/, you will get ugly build
logs (two slashes in a series), but it still works fine as long as it
is consistent between 'make modules' and 'make modules_install'.

The following commands correctly build and install the modules.

  $ make M=a/b/c/ modules
  $ sudo make M=a/b/c/ modules_install

Since commit ccae4cfa7b ("kbuild: refactor scripts/Makefile.modinst"),
a problem happens if you add a trailing slash only for modules_install.

  $ make M=a/b/c modules
  $ sudo make M=a/b/c/ modules_install

No module is installed in this case, Johannes Berg reported. [1]

Trim any trailing slashes from $(KBUILD_EXTMOD).

I used the 'dirname' command to remove all the trailing slashes in
case someone adds more slashes like M=a/b/c/////. The Make's built-in
function, $(dir ...) cannot take care of such a case.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
