kbuild: Strip trailing padding bytes from modules.builtin.modinfo

kbuild: Strip trailing padding bytes from modules.builtin.modinfo

commit a26a6c93edfeee82cb73f55e87d995eea59ddfe8 upstream.

After commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"), running modules_install with certain
versions of kmod (such as 29.1 in Ubuntu Jammy) in certain
configurations may fail with:

  depmod: ERROR: kmod_builtin_iter_next: unexpected string without modname prefix

The additional padding bytes to ensure .modinfo is aligned within
vmlinux.unstripped are unexpected by kmod, as this section has always
just been null-terminated strings.

Strip the trailing padding bytes from modules.builtin.modinfo after it
has been extracted from vmlinux.unstripped to restore the format that
kmod expects while keeping .modinfo aligned within vmlinux.unstripped to
avoid regressing the Authenticode calculation fix for EDK2.
