When building modules with W=1, modpost will warn if a module is
missing a MODULE_DESCRIPTION. Unfortunately, it also performs this
test on vmlinux.o:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in vmlinux.o
Relocate the logic so that the test is not performed on vmlinux.o.
Fixes: 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the description is missing")
