kbuild: Use objtree for module signing key path

Browse Source 
When building out-of-tree modules with CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE=y,
module signing fails because the private key path uses $(srctree)
while the public key path uses $(objtree). Since signing keys are
generated in the build directory during kernel compilation, both
paths should use $(objtree) for consistency.

This causes SSL errors like:
  SSL error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory
  sign-file: /kernel-src/certs/signing_key.pem

The issue occurs because:
- sig-key uses: $(srctree)/certs/signing_key.pem (source tree)
- cmd_sign uses: $(objtree)/certs/signing_key.x509 (build tree)

But both keys are generated in $(objtree) during the build.

This complements commit 25ff08aa43 ("kbuild: Fix signing issue for
external modules") which fixed the scripts path and public key path,
but missed the private key path inconsistency.

Fixes out-of-tree module signing for configurations with separate
source and build directories (e.g., O=/kernel-out).
