Oops, I missed the '.o' suffix difference between modname and mod->name.

If it's OK, I just removed '.ko' as it's simpler than plumbing 'mod' in
(i.e., for  "[%s%s]" with mod->name, mod->is_vmlinux ? "" : ".ko" ).

And just noting for myself/other readers:

Similar calls in do_sysctl_{entry,table}() with '.ko' are OK because their
modname is mod->name (without '.o' suffix), and shouldn't run for vmlinux,
just modules (MODULE_SYSCTL_TABLE is defined if MODULE is defined).

Thanks!
