Correct- modpost vmlinux lacks relocation infomration info in vmlinux so it will
not report these errors.

Attached patch does:
1) Do not check vmlinux but check all .o files that is used to create vmlinux
2) Teach modpost to skip non-elf files (.a files and empty .o files etc)

With this change we get proper check of vmlinux (or files used to create vmlinux)

This gives following errors in a x86_64 defconfig build:

Before pushing this patch the above list needs to be smaller :-(
I have not yet looked into the list.
