[lttng-dev] [PATCH lttng-modules] Fix: NULL pointer dereference of THIS_MODULE with built-in modules

THIS MODULE is defined to 0 when a module is built-in the kernel [1].
This caused NULL pointer dereference when booting a kernel with the
lttng-modules built-in.
To fix this issue, add #if guard around the wrapper_lttng_fixup_sig
function checking if the MODULE macro is defined to confirm that this
piece of code will end up in a module and not in the kernel itself.
[1]: linux/include/linux/export.h:32
Fixes: #1107
