build: move symvers files to kernel build dir

The symvers files of older kernel versions are incompatible with the ones from 5.4, so changing the kernel version without running make clean was causing build failures in kernel module packages. Fix this by moving the directory, ensuring that symvers files get thrown away with a kernel version change Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <[email protected]>
