kbuild: warn if modules uses symbols marked UNUSED

[Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>]

We now have infrastructure in place to mark symols as unused.
So we better warn is anyone is using a symbol marked unused.

Following patch extends modpost to warn if a module uses a symbol marked
EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL or EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL.
