[RFC PATCH 3/5] Trigger Module.ksymb generation in Makefile

Trigger the generation of file scripts/Module.ksymb in
Makefile by calling updated scripts/streamline_config.pl
with corresponding parameter (--genmodulesymb). The file
is generated at each compilation considering that
associations may change after tree updates.

This patch is part of a research project within
Google Summer of Code of porting 'make localmodconfig'
for backported drivers. The goal is to enable each
module to expose in /sys its corresponding CONFIG_* option.
The value of this attribute will be dynamically pegged by
modpost without requiring extra work from the driver developers.
Further, this information will be used by a hardware interogation
tool to extract build information about the existing devices.
