modpost: dump missing namespaces into a single modules.nsdeps file
The modpost, with the -d option given, generates per-module .ns_deps
files.
Kbuild generates per-module .mod files to carry module information.
This is convenient because Make handles multiple jobs in parallel
when the -j option is given.
On the other hand, the modpost always runs as a single thread.
I do not see a strong reason to produce separate .ns_deps files.
This commit changes the modpost to generate just one file,
modules.nsdeps, each line of which has the following format:
<module_name>: <list of missing namespaces>
Please note it contains *missing* namespaces instead of required ones.
So, modules.nsdeps is empty if the namespace dependency is all good.
This will work more efficiently because spatch will no longer process
already imported namespaces. I removed the '(if needed)' from the
nsdeps log since spatch is invoked only when needed.
This also solves the stale .ns_deps problem reported by Jessica Yu:
