Subject: [PATCH v5 07/10] modpost: Add modname to mod_device_table alias

At this point, if a symbol is compiled as part of the kernel,
information about which module the symbol belongs to is lost.

To save this it is possible to add the module name to the alias name.
It's not very pretty, but it's possible for now.
