This only started with the net tree as of today (HEAD a681574c99be).
The problem is simply that kexec_in_progress is not exported to modules.

Sorry, getting the actual .config file is a pain at this point since my
builds have moved on.

It probably had (the current .config has):

CONFIG_NET_DSA_BCM_SF2=m
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y

If CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE is not set, then kexec_in_progress is defined to false.
