[PATCH v2] scripts: Exclude Rust CUs with pahole

[Martin Rodriguez Reboredo]

Version 1.24 of pahole has the capability to exclude compilation units
(CUs) of specific languages. Rust, as of writing, is not currently
supported by pahole and if it's used with a build that has BTF debugging
enabled it results in malformed kernel and module binaries (see
Rust-for-Linux/linux#735). So it's better for pahole to exclude Rust
CUs until support for it arrives.
