[PATCH 02/29] modpost: do not call get_modinfo() for vmlinux

[Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The three calls of get_modinfo() ("license", "import_ns", "version")
always return NULL for vmlinux because the built-in module info is
prefixed with __MODULE_INFO_PREFIX.

It is harmless to call get_modinfo(), but there is no point to search
for what apparently does not exist.
