kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped
[ Upstream commit 3e86e4d74c0490e5fc5a7f8de8f29e7579c9ffe5 ] Keep the .modinfo section during linking, but strip it from the final vmlinux. Adjust scripts/mksysmap to exclude modinfo symbols from kallsyms. This change will allow the next commit to extract the .modinfo section from the vmlinux.unstripped intermediate.
