Apparently you were hit by a bug similar to the one we reported:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=842175

Red Hat is not enthusiastic about fixing the bug, so we (ELRepo) have
been using a patched version of redhat-rpm-config on our build
systems.

However, in your case, you are somehow using
/usr/lib/rpm/find-requires, not
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires.ksyms. Not sure if the latter has
the same issue. We will find out when we build the kmod you requested.
