Subject: [media] rc: allow rc modules to be loaded if rc-main is not a module

commit 2ff56fadd94cdaeeaeccbc0a9b703a0101ada128 upstream.

rc-main mistakenly uses #ifdef MODULE to determine whether it should
load the rc keymap modules.  This symbol is only defined if rc-main
is being built as a module itself, and bears no relation to whether
the rc keymaps are modules.

Fix this to use CONFIG_MODULES instead.
