I left it as I was not sure where the .mo extension came from.
And trying out the different frontends did not generate
any .mo files (I tried with a kernel before my patches).

So I assume the .mo extension was added because it is
often seen in combination with .pot files,
and not because the kernel actually generated such file.

See https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/glossary/#mo-files
for a short description of the .mo files.

In other words - the fixup is correct. Thanks!
