[OS-BUILD PATCHv2] livepatch: no need to build kselftests with kernel

livepatch: no need to build kselftests with kernel

Upstream Status: RHEL only

Remove livepatch kselftest .ko creation from the kernel spec / build.

These kselftests modules are now built dynamically during testing using tools
provided by an external repository. As a result, the manual build in the spec
file is no longer necessary.

This patch removes the manual kselftests build logic from the kernel
RPM spec file.

V2: Keep a copy of Module.symvers in $DevelDir for other selftests
    as they depend on it.

I have left the mentioned hunk in the code so other self tests will not be
affected.
