If we build using make SUBDIRS=foo/ Kbuild will output per-directory
Module.symvers files that we do not want to keep track of. Ignore these files
globally.

SUBDIRS= or M= is meant for external modules, which generate their own
Module.symvers. If you only need to build a part of the kernel sources,
use 'make dir/'.
