Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] module: Block a module by TUXEDO from accessing GPL symbols

From: Uwe Kleine-König <ukleinek@...nel.org>

TUXEDO has not yet relicensed a module for GPLv2+ as a reply from former
contributers the committed code under GPLv3+ is awaited.

Teach the module loader that this module is not GPLv2 compatible despite
the declaration to be GPLv2 compatible until the relicensing is complete.
