Subject: Bug#970871: "modinfo -F" always shows name for built-ins

Package: kmod
Version: 27+20200310-2
Severity: normal

Now that the kernel provides module information for potentially
modular code that's actually built-in, it's possible to query these
built-ins with "modinfo -F".  However, this doesn't work quite right:

$ modinfo -Flicense e1000e
GPL v2
$ modinfo -Flicense bitrev
name:           bitrev
GPL
