So I don';t know what your local names are, but I suspect that what is
going on is:

> git request-pull modules-linus git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux.git/ modules-5.16-rc1

That 'modules-linus' is supposed to be the upstream that your work was based on.

If the 'modules-linus' is your own branch, and has all your work in
it, then the diff and the shortlog will be empty, because that
'modules-5.16-rc1' thing doesn't have anything new wrt it.

So if your 'origin' remote branch is the one that tracks upstream, the
command line should be something like

   git request-pull origin/master git://git.kernel.org/....

please give that a try (but don't update your origin tree before you
do, since I've just pulled things, and then you'll get the same
"nothing to pull").

It should have given you something like

Shuah Khan (2):
      module: fix validate_section_offset() overflow bug on 64-bit
      module: change to print useful messages from elf_validity_check()

 kernel/module.c | 79 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------
 1 file changed, 58 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-)

I'll pull this as-is, since the rest looks fine and it's small and I
do see that it's just two commits from Shuah like you described
verbally. But for anything bigger I really do want to see proper pull
requests.
