The mkdir generates an error when kvm suite is build for non-supported
architecture such as arm. Fix it by ignoring the error from mkdir.

mkdir: missing operand
Try 'mkdir --help' for more information.

Simply suppressing the message isn't a good fix. Can you investigate
a bit more on why mkdir is failing and the architectures it is failing
on?

This change simply suppresses the error message and continues - Should
this error end the build process or not run mkdir to begin with by
checking why $(sort $(dir $(TEST_GEN_PROGS)))) results in an empty
string?

The tests are specified on per architecture basis. As KVM isn't supported on arm, there are no tests in TEST_GEN_PROGS and it is empty. While lib.mk infrastructure has support to ignore and not build anything in such cases, the Makefile's behaviour isn't robust enough.

I think the better fix would be to check if TEST_GEN_PROGS isn't empty and then call mkdir. I'll reiterate and send the fix.

Waiting on Paolo's response before sending the following fix. Maybe he
has better idea here.

Do you agree with the fix or is there better fix? Please feel free to
jump in to propose better fix here.
