Message:

Linux drivers: check for unresolved symbols at build time.
bugref:4567: Linux kernel driver maintenance
This change breaks the build if test builds of Linux kernel drivers contain
unresolved symbols. It saves the symbols produced during the vboxdrv and
vboxguest builds and makes them available during the host modules and
vboxsf builds respectively to prevent the IPRT symbols from coming up as
missing. It is not particularly elegant, in particular it uses the tst*.run
test build targets for saving symbols, but seems to do the job.
