scripts/depmod.sh checks for the output of '-V' expecting that it has
module-init-tools in it. It's a hack to prevent users from using
modutils instead of module-init-tools, that only works with 2.4.x
kernels. This however prints an annoying warning for kmod tool, that is
currently replacing module-init-tools.

Rather than putting another check for kmod's version, just remove it
since users of 2.4.x kernel are unlikely to upgrade to 3.x, and if they
do, let depmod fail in that case because they should know what they are
doing.

Let depmod.sh create a temporary directory in /tmp instead of writing to
the build directory as root. The mktemp utility should be available on
any recent system (and there is already scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh
relying on it).

depmod from module-init-tools < 3.13 and the busybox depmod check if the
kernel release starts with <num>.<num>.<num>. To support these versions,
we create a symlink with two numbers prepended.

Do not bloat the Makefile with multiline shell statements. No
user-visible change intended.
