Currently, signed kernel modules skip the stripping process in order
to preserve the file contents after signing. See commit:
4c47e5f171fa2603355e2f9183065ce8137a18c7

However, the kernel install Makefile supports stripping modules before
signing them. This allows signed modules to be stripped while preserving
a valid signature.

Make non-signed kernel modules follow the standard Yocto stripping flow,
while signed kernel modules use the kernel Makefile stripping flow.

Fixes [YOCTO #12927]
