[Bug 1894611] [NEW] kmod in bionic can't parse hwe/cloud kernel signatures

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

kmod in bionic can't parse hwe/cloud kernel signatures

kmod 27 https://lwn.net/Articles/812803/

linxu v5.2-rc1 changed kernel module signatures, which bionic's kmod 24
cannot parse. Only kmod 27 gained that ability.

But we have backported v5.3+ kernels to bionic, resulting in modinfo
showing incomplete information about the kernel modules.
