[Buildroot] [PATCH] linux: run depmod only if modules are enabled

From: Carlos Santos <unixmania at gmail.com>

If the kernel configuration CONFIG_MODULES disabled, there's no
/lib/modules/<version> directory, causing this:

depmod: ERROR: could not open directory [...]/target/lib/modules/4.19.8: No such file or directory
depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory
Makefile:745: recipe for target 'target-finalize' failed
