With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy
export, but other things matter too: we are about to change 'struct
modversion_info' which means the layout of the __versions section
would change, and this should be reflected in modversions.

So we rename 'struct_module' to 'module_layout' and include the
'struct modversion_info' in the signature.  Now it's general we can
add others later on without confusion.
