modpost: remove leftover symbol prefix handling for module device table

Browse Source 
Blackfin and metag were the only architectures that prefix symbols with
an underscore. They were removed by commit 4ba66a9760 ("arch: remove
blackfin port"), commit bb6fb6dfcc ("metag: Remove arch/metag/"),
respectively.

It is no longer necessary to handle <prefix> part of module device
table symbols.
