    devmatch: read linker.hints from all module paths
    
    Previously, devmatch would stop at the first linker.hints file
    found in kern.module_path. This meant modules installed in
    /boot/modules/ were invisible to devmatch if /boot/kernel/
    contained a linker.hints file (which it always does).
    
    Merge hints from all directories in kern.module_path.
    This allows third-party or out-of-tree kernel modules in
    /boot/modules/ to be auto-loaded by devmatch just like
    built-in modules.
