Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations in
non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing object
file as a module when it is not, which might cause it to spuriously fail
when trying to load something that is built in to the kernel. They
also cause misconstruction of modules.builtin.objs, leading to incorrect
output in kallmodsyms (notating things as being in modules when they
actually cannot be built as a module at all).
Automatically identified with the new tristate checker, and purged with
sed and a subsequent make allmodconfig to double-check.
