modpost: do not warn about missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() for vmlinux.o
[ Upstream commit 9185afeac2a3dcce8300a5684291a43c2838cfd6 ]
Building with W=1 incorrectly emits the following warning:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in vmlinux.o
This check should apply only to modules.
Fixes: 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the description is missing")
