modpost: remove leftover symbol prefix handling for module device table
Blackfin and metag were the only architectures that prefix symbols with an underscore. They were removed by commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch: remove blackfin port"), commit bb6fb6dfcc17 ("metag: Remove arch/metag/"), respectively. It is no longer necessary to handle <prefix> part of module device table symbols. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
