modpost: fix potential mmap'ed file overrun in get_src_version()

I do not know how reliably this function works, but it looks dangerous
to me.

    strchr(sources, '\n');

... continues searching until it finds '\n' or it reaches the '\0'
terminator. In other words, 'sources' should be a null-terminated
string.

However, grab_file() just mmaps a file, so 'sources' is not terminated
with null byte. If the file does not contain '\n' at all, strchr() will
go beyond the mmap'ed memory.

Use read_text_file(), which loads the file content into a malloc'ed
buffer, appending null byte.

Here we are interested only in the first line of *.mod files. Use
get_line() helper to get the first line.

This also makes missing *.mod file a fatal error.

Commit 4be40e22233c ("kbuild: do not emit src version warning for
non-modules") ignored missing *.mod files.

I do not fully understand what that commit addressed, but commit
91341d4b2c19 ("kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch
analysis") introduced partial section checks by using modpost. built-in.o
was parsed by modpost. Even modules had a problem because *.mod files
were created after the modpost check.

Commit b7dca6dd1e59 ("kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and
remove MODVERDIR") stopped doing that. Now that modpost is only invoked
after the directory descend, *.mod files should always exist at the
modpost stage.
