Code using IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULES) as a C expression may need access
to the module structure definitions to compile.
Make sure these structure definitions are always visible.

This will conflict with commit 6bb37af62634 ("module: Move modprobe_path
and modules_disabled ctl_tables into the module subsys") from the sysctl
tree, but the resolution is trivial.

Thanks!

FYI If you apply a patch you need to add yourself to the Signed-off-by chain.
And Link tags are nice. For example:

b4 shazam --add-my-sob --add-link

You're correct. I had a lapse there. Branch updated. Thanks!
