Bug Description

[Impact]
OBSOLETE_BY in DKMS.CONF not work
Which also be reported on upstream:
https://github.com/dell/dkms/issues/81

[Test case]
1. add OBSOLETE_BY in DKMS.CONF
e.g. OBSOLETE_BY="4.15.0-1033"
2. the kernel module should not be built with kernel greater than the version specified by OBSOLETE_BY
e.g.
 - user install kernel 4.15.0-1030 and 4.15.0-10360
 - user install kernel oem-wifi-qualcomm-ath10k-lp1803647-4.15-dkms [1] which has OBSOLETE_BY="4.15.0-1033"
 - the kernel module from dkms [1] should only built for 4.15.0-1030, but not for 4.15.0-10360

[Regression potential]
None as it used to work, but somehow regression there.

I verified the 2.6.1-4ubuntu2.2 dkms in VM by multipass snap with changed dkms [1], it works as expected.

system has linux-image-5.0.0-20-generic and linux-image-5.0.0-21-generic be installed.
With OBSOLETE_BY="5.0.0-21" , then the DKMS will only be installed for kernel 5.0.0-20.
With OBSOLETE_BY="5.0.0-20" , then the DKMS not be installed for both kernel.
