Nit: `depends on !MODVERSIONS || GENDWARFKSYMS` would match the
convention used below.

Note that Petr suggested adding a KBUILD_ flag for passing the
--stable parameter to gendwarfksyms, which I think would be useful,
so once I send out v5 of that series, we'll have to update this to
also use the parameter when processing Rust objects:
