kbuild: define KBUILD_MODNAME even if multiple modules share objects

Currently, KBUILD_MODNAME is defined only when $(modname) contains
just one word.  If an object is shared among multiple modules,
undefined KBUILD_MODNAME could cause a build error.  For example,
if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled, any call of printk() populates
.modname, then fails to build due to undefined KBUILD_MODNAME.

Take the following code as an example:

  obj-m += foo.o
  obj-m += bar.o
  foo-objs := foo-bar-common.o foo-only.o
  bar-objs := foo-bar-common.o bar-only.o

In this case, there is room for argument what to define for
KBUILD_MODNAME when foo-bar-common.o is being compiled.
"foo", "bar", or what else?

One idea is to define colon-separated modules that share the object,
in this case, "bar:foo" (modules are sorted alphabetically by
$(sort ...)).
