Subject: [PATCH bpf] scripts: Exclude Rust CUs with pahole

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.
