[Crash-utility] [PATCH v2 2/2] memory_driver: Support overriding kernel directory

Support compiling the module against a different kernel version than the
currently running one by allowing to set either KVER or KDIR variables
on the make commandline.

Also modernize the makefile slightly and make use of the kernel's
'clean' target to ensure to remove all generated files.

v2:
- test kernel build directory existence first to avoid generating
  spurious error messages
