[Buildroot] [git commit] package/kmod: add option for host variant

[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=4ca9edaad2fae69ebe02b70065808b44b98c9d4f
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Curently, host-kmod has no option to enable it, because only
the kernel depends on it, and this is unconditional (because
we can't know if modules will be enabled in the kernel config).

But we're soon to add options to enable various features of
kmod, so we'll need a place where to show those features.
