2.5.22 broke modversions

[Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@csd.uu.se>]

Something in the 2.5.22 Makefile/Rule.make changes broke
modversions on my P4 box. For some reason, a number of
exporting objects, including arch/i386/kernel/i386_ksyms,
weren't given -D__GENKSYMS__ at genksym-time, with the
effect that the resulting .ver files became empty, and the
kernel exported the symbols with unexpanded _R__ver_ suffixes.

Modversions worked in 2.5.21. I didn't see anything obvious
in patch-2.5.22 what could explain this, but I did notice a
tendency of touching files as a means of maintaining dependencies.
This may not actually work, unless you have a slow CPU or a
file system with millisecond or better st_mtime resolution --
most only maintain whole-second resolution st_mtimes.
(My modversions fix in the 2.4.0-test series, which moved the
modversions.h creation/update to a separate rule after make dep,
was due to this very problem.)

For now, I'm using the workaround below.
