The kernel already prints its build timestamp during boot, no need to

The module can be build separately from the kernel, therefore it can have
an own build timestamp.

If you want to distribute an out-of-tree version, that's your own
business.  It shouldn't limit what is done with the in-tree version.
Perhaps we could make modpost add a build timestamp to OOT modules,
though.
