Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] kbuild: get rid of duplication in the first line of *.mod files

The first line of *.mod lists the object files that consist of the
module. This may contain duplication if the same object is added
multiple times, like this:

  obj-m := foo.o
  foo-$(CONFIG_FOO1_X) += foo1.o
  foo-$(CONFIG_FOO1_Y) += foo1.o
  foo-$(CONFIG_FOO2_X) += foo2.o
  foo-$(CONFIG_FOO2_Y) += foo2.o

This is probably not a big deal. As far as I know, the only small
problem is scripts/mod/sumversion.c parses the same file over again.
This can be avoided by adding $(sort ...). It has a side-effect that
sorts the objects alphabetically, but it is not a big deal, either.
