For kernel builds, /usr/lib/rpm/kmod.prov is fork+execed by rpmbuild in "Processing files:" step about 8000 times, single-threaded, with cumulative run time of ~2 minutes.

Ideally rpmbuild should be changed to parallelize this, but it's not trivial to implement.

I propose meanwhile to speed up the script, by avoiding additional fork+execing.

Tested to work, observed speedup: almost exactly 2 times faster.

While verifying correctness, noticed that old script was buggy - it was generating a bogus "Provides:" item - kmod(modules.builtin.modinfo), because the logic in script was filtering for /.ko files and for /modules.builtin files, and wasn't prepared for the existence of */modules.builtin.modinfo file.
