[PATCH 1/3] modpost: refactor seen flag clearing in add_depends()

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Fri Nov 23 2018 - 02:57:56 EST


You do not need to iterate over all modules for resetting ->seen flag
because add_depends() is only interested in modules that export symbols
referenced from the given 'mod'.

This also avoids shadowing the 'modules' parameter of add_depends().
