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

+Description: This read-only file will appear if modpost was supplied with an

+ scripts/setlocalversion, which means that the presence of this
+ file depends on CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y or LOCALVERSION=.
+ When read, the SCM version that the module was compiled with is
+ returned. The SCM version is returned in the following format::

+ Git: g[a-f0-9]\+(-dirty)\?
+ Mercurial: hg[a-f0-9]\+(-dirty)\?
