kbuild: remove $(MODLIB)/source symlink
This reverts the old commit "kbuild: Introduce source symlink in /lib/modules/.../". [1] The current Kbuild does not require $(MODLIB)/source. If the kernel was built in a separate output directory, $(MODLIB)/build/Makefile wraps the Makefile in the source tree. It is enough for building external modules.
