[ltt-dev] [PATCH] Fix markers duplicate modpost entry

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared. It
caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates when a
markers was changed.

I merely merged the patches from Roland and Wenji here. It applies to
mainline (and is not intrusive, so will also apply to linux-next).
