kbuild: create directory for dir/file.o

When add a obj with dir to obj-y, like this

    obj-y += dir/file.o

The $(obj)/dir not created, this patch fix this.

When try to add a file(which in a subdir) to my board's obj-y, the build
progress crashed.

For example, I use at91rm9200ek board, and in kernel dir run:

  mkdir objtree
  make O=objtree at91rm9200_defconfig
  mkdir arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
  touch arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c

and edit arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c to add some code.
then edit arch/arm/mach-at91/Makefile, change the following line:

  obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o

to:

  obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o dir/file.o

Now build it:

  make O=objtree

Then the error appears:
  ...
  CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/board-rm9200dk.o
  CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/board-rm9200ek.o
  CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.o
  linux-2.6/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c:5:
    fatal error: opening dependency file
    arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/.file.o.d: No such file or directory

Check the objtree:
  LANG=en ls objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
  ls: cannot access objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir: No such file or directory

It's apparently that the target dir not created for file.o

Check kbuild source code. It seems that kbuild create dirs for that in
$(obj-dirs).  But if the dir need not to create a built-in.o, It should
never in  $(obj-dirs).

So I make this patch to make sure It in  $(obj-dirs)
