From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cb4819934a7f9b87876f11ed05b8624c0114551b ] KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS makes sense only when building external modules. Moreover, the modpost sets 'external_module' if the -e option is given. I replaced $(patsubst %, -e %,...) with simpler $(addprefix -e,...) while I was here.
