module: Ignore RISC-V mapping symbols too
RISC-V has an extended form of mapping symbols that we use to encode the ISA when it changes in the middle of an ELF. This trips up modpost as a build failure, I haven't yet verified it yet but I believe the kallsyms difference should result in stacks looking sane again.
