Subject: [PATCH] scripts:prune-kernel:prune old kernels and modules dir 

This patch will remmove old kernel and associated modules directory from
the system.

Few interaction with the script ,below 

1) ✔ ~/git-linux/linux-kbuild [master ↑·18|✔]
10:40 $ ./scripts/prune-kernel


2)10:41 $ ./scripts/prune-kernel -h
You need to use this script like this :

  ./scripts/prune-kernel -r kernel_version  modules_directory_name
 ./scripts/prune-kernel -i  option for interactive way to  use it.


3) 10:41 $ ./scripts/prune-kernel -r 5.2.2 5.2.2-gentoo
Removed  kernel version:5.2.2 and modules directory:5.2.2-gentoo from
the system.


4)10:41 $ ./scripts/prune-kernel -i


 Want to removing old kernels and modules dir [YN]: Y
 Please give another version to remove: 5.2.2
 /boot/vmlinuz-5.3.7-050307-generic
 /boot/vmlinuz-5.3.6-050306-generic
 find: ‘/boot/efi’: Permission denied
 Please give the full modules directory name to remove: 5.2.2-gentoo
 5.3.6-050306-generic
 5.3.7-050307-generic



  Removed kernel version:5.2.2 and associated modules:5.2.2-gentoo
  ..Done.
