[PATCH] efi_runtime: enable KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=y to workaround build failures

[Alex Hung]

I tried eoan (daily build iso dated 2019-07-26 07:48) and without following
git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/hwe/fwts.git
 - Install eoan, run sudo apt date && sudo apt upgrade
 - Install some other apps
 - git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/hwe/fwts.git
 - cd fwts
 - pwclient git-am 1136754 1138706
 - sudo autopkgtest . -- null

However, I still got the same result "SKIP no tests in this package",
and "echo $?" returns 8.

Without the two patches, the "echo $?" return 0

The log file is attached.
