Subject: [PATCH] rust: fix regexp in scripts/is_rust_module.sh

nm can use "R" or "r" to show read-only data sections, but
scripts/is_rust_module.sh can only recognize "r", so with some versions
of binutils it can fail to detect if a module is a Rust module or not.

Right now we're using this script only to determine if we need to skip
BTF generation (that is disabled globally if CONFIG_RUST is enabled),
but it's still nice to fix this script to do the proper job.

Moreover, with this patch applied I can also relax the constraint of
"RUST depends on !DEBUG_INFO_BTF" and build a kernel with Rust and BTF
enabled at the same time (of course BTF generation is still skipped for
Rust modules).
