  This reverts the old commit "kbuild: Introduce source symlink in
/lib/modules/.../". [1]

The current Kbuild does not require $(MODLIB)/source. If the kernel was
built in a separate output directory, $(MODLIB)/build/Makefile wraps
the Makefile in the source tree. It is enough for building external
modules.
