No functional change.
This patch migrates module version support out of core code into
kernel/module/version.c. In addition simple code refactoring to
make this possible.

Sparse reports:
CHECK kernel/module/version.c
kernel/module/version.c:103:6: warning: symbol 'module_layout' was not
declared. Should it be static?
Checkpatch:
total: 0 errors, 2 warnings, 3 checks, 337 lines checked
Note that everywhere you get a warning for alignment not matching open
parenthesis, first action should be to check if we really need it to be
on two lines. When it's shorted than 100 chars it is usually better to
keep it on a single line.

The function module_layout() does not appear to be used. So, I've decided
to remove it.

Yes, struct 'symsearch' is not used outside of kernel/module/main.c.

I'm not sure you can do that.
From commit 8c8ef42aee8f ("module: include other structures in module
version check") I understand that module_layout is there for some signature.
