compiling RFKILL itself as a module is still working perfectly fine. It
is just the RFKILL_INPUT that can't be built as a module anymore. That
part was pointless anyway. And in the future RFKILL_INPUT will go away
and be replaced by a userspace implementation with proper support for
platform specific policies.
