virtme-prep-kdir-mods: support kernel 6.2

Thank you for having created and maintained this very handy tool!

Since the kernel commit https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f65a486821cf ("kbuild: change module.order to list *.o instead of *.ko") that is now in Linus tree in preparation of the future v6.2, module.order file lists .o files instead of .ko ones.

virtme-prep-kdir-mods reads module.order file but it needs to create symlinks for the .ko files, not the .o ones.

@matttbe thanks for this patch - I was having the same problem today so just tested your patch and it worked perfectly. Not sure if this is best practice, but I had to manually delete the .virtme_mods folder in my main linux directory to force the modules to show up.

@dbrouwer3563 thank you for having validated this patch!

Not sure if this is best practice, but I had to manually delete the .virtme_mods folder in my main linux directory to force the modules to show up.

I don't remember I had to do that but when trying to understand the issue, I might have deleted the folder when it was filled in with .o files. Hopefully this fix can get merged before too many users switch to v6.2 and populate the directory with wrong files :-) (cc @amluto)
