[VirtualBox-kmod] New way to build for Kernel 5.5, with kernel v5.5, change the behavior of depmod. In earlier versi

commit 5fa9b97734752832f02b2f9289b717a13ffb9a5d Author: Sérgio M. Basto <sergio(a)serjux.com&gt; Date: Tue Dec 24 18:37:02 2019 +0000 New way to build for Kernel 5.5, with kernel v5.5, change the behavior of depmod. In earlier versions, it was sufficient to copy the contents of Module.sysmvers from the vboxdrv directory to the current directory to have the exported symbols from vboxdrv be available to another module such as vboxnetflt, etc. With v5.5, that no longer works. The workaround is to pass the path of Module.sysvers to kbuild (make) in a symbol named KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS.
