[PATCH 6/6] kbuild: Remove .dot postfixes in kallsyms

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

For static and some LTO symbols gcc generates .XXXX postfixes.
Remove those from the kallsyms, as they are not useful to the user
and makes it much larger. This also avoids some issues with LTO.
