Commit 82e7656400 ("linux: Allow modprobe for out-of-tre modules") added
support for running depmod as part of the target finalize hook.
However, it also originally set DEPMOD to /dev/null, a hunk that was
removed upon apply. The kernel depmod wrapper script uses `command` to
verify that whatever is passed into DEPMOD is known to the shell.
These days if the DEPMOD tool is set to something incorrect the depmod
script will just warn [1], but there are trees where the depmod script will
stop with a hard error. [2]
Running depmod as part of out-of-tree module installations causes
unnecessary files to be generated and installed.
Since we're already running depmod in the finalize hook, stub this call to
`true` as it's definitely a shell callable, and it will always succeed.
This is what is done for other packaging scripts in the kernel tree. [3]
