module: support reading multiple values per modinfo tag
Similar to modpost's get_next_modinfo(), introduce get_next_modinfo() in kernel/module.c to acquire any further values associated with the same modinfo tag name. That is useful for any tags that have multiple occurrences (such as 'alias'), but is in particular introduced here as part of the symbol namespaces patch series to read the (potentially) multiple namespaces a module is importing.
