Subject: git-kbuild: modpost parsing fix
From: Zan Lynx <zlynx@xxxxxxx>
I was getting segmentation faults in modpost while building out of tree
modules. I'm pretty sure the code should look like the following patch.
Otherwise, it makes modname look like "vmlinux\tEXPORT_SYMBOL" which then
fails badly later on.
