kbuild: turn '/' into an alias of './'
Commit 06300b21f4c7 ("kbuild: support building individual files for external modules") introduced the '/' target. It works only for external modules to build all .o files, but skip the modpost stage. However, 'make /' looks a bit weird to me. 'make ./' is more sensible if you want to build all objects under the current directory, and it works as expected. Let's change '/' into a phony target that is an alias of './', but I may feel like deprecating it in the future. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
