Fix subtle CONFIG_MODVERSIONS problems

CONFIG_MODVERSIONS has been broken for pretty much the whole 4.9 series,

either.

This oneliner fixes it without the ugliness, and allows for further
future cleanups.

  "We've secretly replaced their regular MODVERSIONS with nothing at
   all, let's see if they notice"
