kbuild: doc: remove documentation about copying Module.symvers around

- Use an extra Module.symvers file
- When an external module is built, a Module.symvers file
- is generated containing all exported symbols which are
- not defined in the kernel. To get access to symbols
- from bar.ko, copy the Module.symvers file from the
- compilation of bar.ko to the directory where foo.ko is
- built. During the module build, kbuild will read the
- Module.symvers file in the directory of the external

- all symbols defined and not part of the kernel.

Use "make" variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
