kbuild, modpost: fix unexpected non-allocatable warning with mips

mips emit the following debug sections: .mdebug* and .pdr They were included in the check for non-allocatable section and caused modpost to warn. Manuel Lauss suggested to fix this by adding the relevant sections to the list of sections we do not check.
