Subject: [PATCH v3] gen_compile_commands: handle multiple lines per .mod file

scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py incorrectly assumes that
each .mod file only contains one line. That assumption was correct when
the script was originally created, but commit 9413e7640564 ("kbuild:
split the second line of *.mod into *.usyms") changed the .mod file
format so that there is one entry per line, and potentially many lines.

The problem can be reproduced by using Kbuild to generate
compile_commands.json, like this:

    make CC=clang compile_commands.json

In many cases, the problem might be overlooked because many subsystems
only have one line anyway. However, in some subsystems (Nouveau, with
762 entries, is a notable example) it results in skipping most of the
subsystem.

Fix this by fully processing each .mod file.

Fixes: 9413e7640564 ("kbuild: split the second line of *.mod into *.usyms")
