modpost: Create modalias for builtin modules
For some modules, modalias is generated using the modpost utility and
the section is added to the module file.
When a module is added inside vmlinux, modpost does not generate
modalias for such modules and the information is lost.
As a result kmod (which uses modules.builtin.modinfo in userspace)
cannot determine that modalias is handled by a builtin kernel module.
$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/modalias
pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30
$ modinfo xhci_pci
name: xhci_pci
filename: (builtin)
license: GPL
file: drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci
description: xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver
Missing modalias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be generated by
modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to generate the same modalias for vmlinux as
for the individual modules. Fortunately '.vmlinux.export.o' is already
generated from which '.modinfo' can be extracted in the same way as for
vmlinux.o.
