[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#653176: ignores --kernelsourcedir

[Evgeni Golov]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Heya

when you try to build a non-running, non-defaultpath kernel module,
you would supply --kernelsourcedir=/wherever/the/kernel/lies.
Sadly dkms just overwrites the value you set, because _get_kernel_dir()
does not check whether ksourcedir_fromcli is set and defaults to
/lib/modules/$KVER/build.

the below trivial patch fixes it.

Regards and happy xhwatever
