scripts: Fix the inclusion order in modpost
In the process of creating the source file of a module modpost injects a set of includes that are not required if the compilation unit is statically built into the kernel. The order of inclusion of the headers can cause redefinition problems (e.g.): In file included from include/linux/elf.h:5:0, from include/linux/module.h:18, from crypto/arc4.mod.c:2: #define ELF_OSABI ELFOSABI_LINUX In file included from include/linux/elfnote.h:62:0, from include/linux/build-salt.h:4, from crypto/arc4.mod.c:1: include/uapi/linux/elf.h:363:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition #define ELF_OSABI ELFOSABI_NONE The issue was exposed during the development of the series [1].
