modpost: distinguish same module paths from different dump files
Since commit 13b25489 ("kbuild: change working directory to external module directory with M="), module paths are always relative to the top of the external module tree. The module paths recorded in Module.symvers are no longer globally unique when they are passed via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS for building other external modules, which may result in false-positive "exported twice" errors. Such errors should not occur because external modules should be able to override in-tree modules. To address this, record the dump file path in struct module and check it when searching for a module.
