[BUGFIX PATCH v2] tools: Let O= makes handle a relative path with -C option

From: Masami Hiramatsu

When I compiled tools/perf from top directory with the -C option,
the O= option didn't work correctly if I passed a relative path.

$ make O=BUILD -C tools/perf/
make: Entering directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
../scripts/Makefile.include:4: *** O=/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/BUILD does not exist. Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2
make: Leaving directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'

The O= directory existence check failed because the check
script ran in the build target directory instead of the
directory where I ran the make command.

To fix that, once change directory to $(PWD) and check O=
directory, since the PWD is set to where the make command
runs.

Changes in V2:
- Fix tools/perf/Makefile because it has own O= pre-process.
- Use tools/perf for example.
- Add explicit Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tag.
