Subject: wish: build time warning for missing MODULE_LICENSE

I just fixed a bug where I had accidentally removed a MODULE_LICENSE() 
from a file.

The problem is that such bugs are currently not discovered until someone 
actually runs a kernel with this module loaded.

Could we get a build time warning/error for a missing MODULE_LICENSE?

TIA
Adrian
