kbuild: revert $(realpath ...) to $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd)

I thought commit 79334cb7fd32 ("kbuild: use $(abspath ...) instead of
$(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd)") was a safe conversion, but it changed
the behavior.

$(abspath ...) / $(realpath ...) does not expand shell special
characters, such as '~'.

Here is a simple Makefile example:

  ---------------->8----------------
  $(info /bin/pwd: $(shell cd ~/; /bin/pwd))
  $(info abspath: $(abspath ~/))
  $(info realpath: $(realpath ~/))
  all:
          @:
  ---------------->8----------------

  $ make
  /bin/pwd: /home/masahiro
  abspath: /home/masahiro/workspace/~
  realpath:

This can be a real problem if 'make O=~/foo' is invoked from another
Makefile or primitive shell like dash.

This commit partially reverts 79334cb7fd32.

Fixes: 79334cb7fd32 ("kbuild: use $(abspath ...) instead of $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd)")
