Documentation/module-signing.txt: Note need for version info if reusing a key

Orabug: 25308134

[ Upstream commit b8612e517c3c9809e1200b72c474dbfd969e5a83 ]

Signing a module should only make it trusted by the specific kernel it
was built for, not anything else.  If a module signing key is used for
multiple ABI-incompatible kernels, the modules need to include enough
version information to distinguish them.
