kbuild: record needed exported symbols for modules
Kernel modules are partially linked object files with some undefined symbols that are expected to be matched with EXPORT_SYMBOL() entries from elsewhere. Each .tmp_versions/*.mod file currently contains two line of text separated by a newline character. The first line has the actual module file name while the second line has a list of object files constituting that module. Those files are parsed by modpost (scripts/mod/sumversion.c), scripts/Makefile.modpost, scripts/Makefile.modsign, etc. Only the modpost utility cares about the second line while the others retrieve only the first line. Therefore we can add a third line to record the list of undefined symbols aka required EXPORT_SYMBOL() entries for each module into that file without breaking anything. Like for the second line, symbols are separated by a blank and the list is terminated with a newline character. To avoid needless build overhead, the undefined symbols extraction is performed only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected.
