It isn't.
Here's an excerpt from the POSIX manpage for 'sed',
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/sed.html:
[2addr]s/BRE/replacement/flags
... Any character other than backslash or <newline> can be used
instead of a slash to delimit the BRE and the replacement....

The parameter expansion syntax is redundant here.
See https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_06_02:
The parameter name or symbol can be enclosed in braces, which are
optional except for positional parameters with more than one digit or
when parameter is a name and is followed by a character that could be
interpreted as part of the name.

Here's an alternative version using double quotes.
sed "/\/$m/!d;s:^kernel/: :" modules.order modules.builtin
