modpost: change mod->gpl_compatible to bool type
Currently, mod->gpl_compatible is tristate; it is set to -1 by default,
then to 1 or 0 when MODULE_LICENSE() is found.
Maybe, -1 was chosen to represent the 'unknown' license, but it is not
useful.
The current code:
if (!mod->gpl_compatible)
check_for_gpl_usage(exp->export, basename, exp->name);
... only cares whether gpl_compatible is zero or not.
Change it to a bool type with the initial value 'true', which has no
functional change.
The default value should be 'true' instead of 'false'.
Since commit 1d6cd39293
("modpost: turn missing MODULE_LICENSE() into
error"), unknown module license is an error.
The error message, "missing MODULE_LICENSE()" is enough to explain the
issue. It is not sensible to show another message, "GPL-incompatible
module ... uses GPL-only symbol".
Add comments to explain this.
While I was here, I renamed gpl_compatible to is_gpl_compatible for
clarification, and also slightly refactored the code.
