BACKPORT: FROMGIT: module: allow UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST to be relative against objtree.
If UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST is a file generated before Kbuild runs, and the source tree is in a read-only filesystem, the developer must put the file somewhere and specify an absolute path to UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST. This worked, but if IKCONFIG=y, an absolute path is embedded into .config and eventually into vmlinux, causing the build to be less reproducible when building on a different machine. This patch makes the handling of UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST to be similar to MODULE_SIG_KEY. First, check if UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST is an absolute path, just as before this patch. If so, use the path as is. If it is a relative path, use wildcard to check the existence of the file below objtree first. If it does not exist, fall back to the original behavior of adding $(srctree)/ before the value. After this patch, the developer can put the generated file in objtree, then use a relative path against objtree in .config, eradicating any absolute paths that may be evaluated differently on different machines.
