--------------------------------------------------
KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to avoid errors in case of undefined
symbols in the final module linking stage. It changes such errors
into warnings.

Nothing here say that we need KBUILD_EXTMOD to use this.

Why did you conclude that KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN is only relevant for
KBUILD_EXTMOD? Something must have triggerede the patch...
