[RFC PATCH 4/5] Set KCONFIG_KSYMB as value for kconfig_ksymb module attribute

[Cristina Moraru <cristina.moraru09@gmail.com>]

Update modpost to add in *.mod.c files generated for each
module the setting of module attribute kernel_ksymb to
value given by KBUILD_KSYMB macro.

This patch is part of a research project within
Google Summer of Code of porting 'make localmodconfig'
for backported drivers. The goal is to enable each
module to expose in /sys its corresponding CONFIG_* option.
The value of this attribute will be dynamically pegged by
modpost without requiring extra work from the driver developers.
Further, this information will be used by a hardware interogation
tool to extract build information about the existing devices.
