Currently, all files with EXPORT_SYMBOL() are rebuilt when CONFIG_MODULES
is flipped due to <linux/export.h> depending on CONFIG_MODULES.
Now that modpost can make a final decision about export symbols,
<linux/export.h> does not need to make EXPORT_SYMBOL() no-op.
Instead, modpost can skip emitting KSYMTAB when CONFIG_MODULES is unset.
This commit will reduce the number of recompilation when CONFIG_MODULES
is toggled.
