Josh Poimboeuf 9025688bf6 module: Fix device table module aliases 
Commit 6717e8f91d ("kbuild: Remove 'kmod_' prefix from
__KBUILD_MODNAME") inadvertently broke module alias generation for
modules which rely on MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().

It removed the "kmod_" prefix from __KBUILD_MODNAME, which caused
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() to generate a symbol name which no longer matched
the format expected by handle_moddevtable() in scripts/mod/file2alias.c.

As a result, modpost failed to find the device tables, leading to
missing module aliases.

Fix this by explicitly adding the "kmod_" string within the
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro itself, restoring the symbol name to the
format expected by file2alias.c.

Fixes: 6717e8f91d ("kbuild: Remove 'kmod_' prefix from __KBUILD_MODNAME")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
