[PATCH 2/2] rust: macros: fix `make rusttest` build on macOS

Do not emit `#[link_section = ".modinfo"]` on macOS (i.e. when building
userspace tests); .modinfo is not a legal section specifier in mach-o.

Before this change tests failed to compile:

---- ../rust/macros/lib.rs - module (line 66) stdout ----
rustc-LLVM ERROR: Global variable '_ZN8rust_out13__module_init13__module_init27__MY_DEVICE_DRIVER_MODULE_017h141f80536770e0d4E' has an invalid section specifier '.modinfo': mach-o section specifier requires a segment and section separated by a comma.
Couldn't compile the test.
---- ../rust/macros/lib.rs - module (line 33) stdout ----
