Masahiro Yamada 1a475d5486 kbuild: clarify where to run make mrproper when out-of-tree fails
If you try out-of-tree build with an unclean source tree, Kbuild
suggests to run make mrproper. The path to the source tree may be
shown with a relative path, for example, "make O=foo" emits the
following:

  .. is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'
  in the '..' directory.

This is somewhat confusing if you ran "make O=foo" in the source tree.
Using the absolute path will be clearer.

This commit changes the error message like follows:

***
*** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'
*** in /absolute/path/to/linux
***

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
