octeon-platform.c can not be built as a module for two reasons:
(a) the Makefile doesn't allow it:
obj-y := cpu.o setup.o octeon-platform.o octeon-irq.o csrc-octeon.o
(b) the multiple *_initcall() statements, each of which are translated
to a module_init() call when attempting a module build, become
aliases to init_module(). Having more than one alias will cause a
build error.
Hence, rather than adding a linux/module.h include, remove the redundant
MODULE_*() from this file.
