kbuild: filter away debug symbols from kernel symbols

Browse source 
Andi Kleen <[email protected]>
reported that he saw a lot of symbols like this:

0000000000000b24 N DW.aio.h.903a6d92.2
0000000000000bce N DW.task_io_accounting.h.8d8de327.0
0000000000000bec N DW.hrtimer.h.c23659c6.0

in his System.map / kallsyms output.

Simple solution is to skip all debugging
symbols (they are marked 'N').
