Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] module: Block some modules by TUXEDO from accessing GPL symbols

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

TUXEDO has not yet relicensed all modules for GPLv2+ as former contributer
need to be contacted that comited code under GPLv3+.

So teach the module loader that these modules are proprietary despite
their declaration to be GPLv2 compatible until the relicensing is complete.
