generic: keep module aliases inside .modinfo

It seems module aliases are actually essential info.  E.g. other modules
may call xt_request_find_match(NFPROTO_IPV{4,6}, "hashlimit", 1) and the
kernel will request user mode modprobe helper for ipt_hashlimit and
ip6t_hashlimit respectively which are aliases of xt_hashlimit.ko

Compile-tested for armvirt, there is nearly no size impact.
