Currently, KBUILD_MODNAME is defined only when $(modname) contains
just one word.  If an object is shared among multiple modules,
undefined KBUILD_MODNAME could cause a build error.  For example,
if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled, any call of printk() populates
.modname, then fails to build due to undefined KBUILD_MODNAME.

Take the following code as an example:

  obj-m += foo.o
  obj-m += bar.o
  foo-objs := foo-bar-common.o foo-main.o
  bar-objs := foo-bar-common.o bar-main.o

In this case, there is room for argument what to define for
KBUILD_MODNAME when foo-bar-common.o is being compiled.
"foo", "bar", or what else?

One idea is to define colon-separated modules that share the object,
in this case, "bar:foo" (modules are sorted alphabetically by
$(sort ...).

I guess there is comment also need to be modified above this code hunk:

Note: Files that end up in two or more modules are compiled without the
      KBUILD_MODNAME definition. The reason is that any made-up name
      would differ in different configs.

Why do I have to add lying comments here?

The commit subject/log claims KBUILD_MODNAME should be _always_ defined.

I feel you misunderstand my intention, the comment I mentioned is
already there, so they should be modified according to your patch.

Ugh.  Sorry I missed your intention.

I will remove the comment.  Thanks!
