[PATCH v1 2/2] modules: add scmversion field

[Will McVicker]

Add the modinfo field `scmversion` to include the SCM version of kernel
modules, e.g. git sha1. This allows one to identify the exact source
code version of a given kernel module.

You can retrieve it in two ways,

1) By using modinfo
    > modinfo -F scmversion <module_name>
2) By module sysfs node
    > cat /sys/module/<module_name>/scmversion
