4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Randy Dunlap rdunlap@infradead.org
commit 934193a654c1f4d0643ddbf4b2529b508cae926e upstream.
Verify that 'depmod' ($DEPMOD) is installed. This is a partial revert of commit 620c231c7a7f ("kbuild: do not check for ancient modutils tools").
Also update Documentation/process/changes.rst to refer to kmod instead of module-init-tools.
Fixes kernel bugzilla #198965: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198965
