Fengguang Wu's build bot detected that if moduleloader.h is included in
a C file (used by ftrace and kprobes to access module_alloc() when
available), that it can fail to build if CONFIG_MODULES and
CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_REL is not defined.

This is because there's a printk() that dereferences struct module to
print the name of the module. But as struct module does not exist when
CONFIG_MODULES is not defined we get this error:

   include/linux/moduleloader.h: In function 'apply_relocate':
>> include/linux/moduleloader.h:48:63: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type  
     printk(KERN_ERR "module %s: REL relocation unsupported\n", me->name);
                                                                  ^
Avoid the printk if CONFIG_MODULES is not set.
