Janne Grunau 742de64b62 kbuild: modules-cpio-pkg: Respect INSTALL_MOD_PATH ...

The modules-cpio-pkg target added in commit 2a9c8c0b59 ("kbuild: add
target to build a cpio containing modules") is incompatible with
initramfs with merged /lib and /usr/lib directories [1]. "/lib" cannot
be a link and directory at the same time.
Respect a non-empty INSTALL_MOD_PATH in the modules-cpio-pkg target so
that `make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr modules-cpio-pkg` results in the same
module install location as `make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr modules_install`.

Tested with Fedora distribution initramfs produced by dracut.
