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.
