modules.order is read by scripts/Makefile.modfinal to determine which
modules to build, so we need this recipe to execute if we want to be able
to output the recipes for building modules in dry-run mode.

As it is a bit hacky to mark an always sequential command as 'recursive' [1] in
order to circumvent the '--dry-run', I'd like to see a comment in the code,
too.
