Fixes [YOCTO #12927]

Out-of-tree module Makefiles invoke the kernel Makefile by appending
the M= (the module directory) variable to the MAKEFLAGS.
However, they usually do not provide a modules_sign target. Therefore,
the kernel modules_sign target has to be invoked manually after retrieving
M= variable from package source code Makefile.

This function retrieves the M= variable from an external module Makefile.
