Observed the following when building cryptodev-linux:
>>> cryptodev-linux 1.7 Building kernel module(s)
grep: /.config: No such file or directory
ERROR: Kernel does not support loadable modules

Fix LINUX_DIR reference when determining if kernel configuration
supports loadable modules.

Doug, All,

Dang.. I let that skip before the release...

On principle:

Acked-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

However, there's a series that did not have time to make it to master
before the release, and that is an improvement over the current
situation, which would render this patch moot:

    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/510186/
    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/510187/
    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/510188/

So, even though this patch is good, I'd prefer we aply the series
instead.

Still, the kernel-module infra is indeed broken in the release, thus
making all kernel module packages broken. I'll Oeter and Thomas decide
whether we want to put out a .1 release to fix just that.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Yes, I'll do so shortly for master.

I've created a 2015.08.x branch and applied it. I'll wait a few days and
see if anything else shows up before releasing 2015.08.1.

Since you are preparing a bug fix release, can you backport this little
patch ? ;-)

Thanks!

Cherrypicked, thanks. Please let me know if there are any other fixes
that should go in 2015.08.1.
