Kieran Bingham 958ef8a09a scripts/gdb: support !CONFIG_MODULES gracefully
If CONFIG_MODULES is not enabled, lx-lsmod tries to find a non-existent
symbol and generates an unfriendly traceback:

  (gdb) lx-lsmod
  Address    Module                  Size  Used by
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "scripts/gdb/linux/modules.py", line 75, in invoke
      for module in module_list():
    File "scripts/gdb/linux/modules.py", line 24, in module_list
      module_ptr_type = module_type.get_type().pointer()
    File "scripts/gdb/linux/utils.py", line 28, in get_type
      self._type = gdb.lookup_type(self._name)
  gdb.error: No struct type named module.
  Error occurred in Python command: No struct type named module.

Catch the error and return an empty module_list() for a clean command
output as follows:

  (gdb) lx-lsmod
  Address    Module                  Size  Used by
  (gdb)
