kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped
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.

sed script to filter out symbols that are not needed for System.map,

or not suitable for kallsyms. The input should be 'nm -n '.

System.map is used by module-init tools and some debugging

tools to retrieve the actual addresses of symbols in the kernel.

readprofile starts reading symbols when _stext is found, and

continue until it finds a symbol which is not either of 'T', 't',

'W' or 'w'.
