[PATCH] modpost: do not warn about missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() for vmlinux.o

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Thu Jun 06 2024 - 14:40:03 EST


Building with W=1 incorrectly emits the following warning:

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in vmlinux.o

This check should apply only to modules.

Fixes: 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the description is missing")
