kbuild: avoid regex RS for POSIX awk

In 22f26f21774f8 awk was added to deduplicate *.mod files. The awk
invocation passes -v RS='( |\n)' to match a space or newline character
as the record separator. Unfortunately, POSIX states[1]

> If RS contains more than one character, the results are unspecified.

Some implementations (such as the One True Awk[2] used by the BSDs) do
not treat RS as a regular expression. When awk does not support regex
RS, build failures such as the following are produced (first error using
allmodconfig):

CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.o
CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_nhmex.o
CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snb.o
CC [M] arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_snbep.o

make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:487: arch/x86/events] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1839: arch/x86] Error 2

To avoid this, use printf(1) to produce a newline between each object
path, instead of the space produced by echo(1), so that the default RS
can be used by awk.
