Subject: [PATCH v3 4/9] kbuild: generate module BTF based on
 vmlinux.unstripped

The upcoming module hashes functionality will build the modules in
between the generation of the BTF data and the final link of vmlinux.
At this point vmlinux is not yet built and therefore can't be used for
module BTF generation. vmlinux.unstripped however is usable and
sufficient for BTF generation.
