This script has been broken for 5 years with no user complaints.
It first had its .mod.c parser broken in commit a3d0cb04f7df ("modpost:
use __section in the output to *.mod.c"). Later, it had its object file
enumeration broken in commit f65a486821cf ("kbuild: change module.order
to list *.o instead of *.ko"). Both of these changes sat for years with
no reports.
Rather than reviving this script as we make further changes to `.mod.c`,
this patch gets rid of it because it is clearly unused.
