UBUNTU: SAUCE: scripts/Makefile.modinst discard-locals from modules

On riscv, it appears that all kernel modules are generated with an excesive amount of local symbols and assembly automatic generated symbols increasing the size of stripped .ko modules multiple times over similar ones on other architectures. When stripping .ko on riscv, discard these local symbols too, which should make our module sizes somewhat more reasonable.
