[PATCH v2 07/11] kbuild: modpost: read modules.order instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod

[Masahiro Yamada]

Towards the goal of removing MODVERDIR, read out modules.order to get
the list of modules to be processed. This is simpler than parsing *.mod
files in $(MODVERDIR).

For external modules, $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/modules.order should be read.
