modpost: require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()

Since commit 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the
description is missing"), a module without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() has
resulted in a warning with make W=1. Since that time, all known
instances of this issue have been fixed. Therefore, now make it an
error if a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() is not present.
