Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.4-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux

Pull module fixes from Jessica Yu:
 "Code cleanups and kbuild/namespace related fixups from Masahiro.

  Most importantly, it fixes a namespace-related modpost issue for
  external module builds

   - Fix broken external module builds due to a modpost bug in
     read_dump(), where the namespace was not being strdup'd and
     sym->namespace would be set to bogus data.

   - Various namespace-related kbuild fixes and cleanups thanks to
     Masahiro Yamada"
