    Add the output of depmod into kernel module .tgz file
    
    CQID: WIND00432340
    
    do_rootfs() runs depmod on the final rootfs, so the depmod files are
    in the rootfs image. But the kernel module .tgz doesn't have the files.
    If you un-tar the new version of the kernel module .tgz on the board,
    it will need to re-run depmod. The avoid this we are running depmod in
    kernel_do_deploy() before generating the kernel .tgz.
