Commit 51193b76bfff
("kbuild: forbid kernel directory to contain spaces and colons")
makes it impossible to build kernel on default SD labels like
"SD Card" for instance.
Makefile:133: *** main directory cannot contain spaces nor colons. Stop.
User could rename directories but volume name is not always writable.
This patch adds ability to do make force=1 for people
not interested in modules_install in this case but only testing.
(Note that other options could go under ifndef force)
