Commit 9cc342f6c4 ("treewide: prefix header search paths with
$(srctree)/") caused a build error for MIPS VDSO.

In file included from ../arch/mips/vdso/vdso.h:26,

../arch/mips/include/asm/page.h:12:10: fatal error: spaces.h: No such file or directory
#include <spaces.h>
^~~~~~~~~~
The cause of the error is a missing space after the compiler flag -I .
Kbuild used to have a global restriction "no space after -I", but
commit 48f6e3cf5b ("kbuild: do not drop -I without parameter") got
rid of it. Having a space after -I is no longer a big deal as far as
Kbuild is concerned.
It is still a big deal for MIPS because arch/mips/vdso/Makefile
filters the header search paths, like this:
ccflags-vdso := \
$(filter -I%,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS)) \
..., which relies on the assumption that there is no space after -I .
