linux/vermagic.h now references a variable in kernel/module.c.

Since this file is only included for CONFIG_MODULES=y, CONFIG_MODULES=n 
results in the following compile error:

<--  snip  -->

...
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
kernel/built-in.o(.data+0xc54): undefined reference to `vermagic'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

<--  snip  -->
