package/kmod: add patch fixing the build with Python 3.8

Since the bump of python3 to 3.8, the kmod Python extensions fail to
build. There was a change in Python 3.8: they no longer want Python
extensions to be linked with libpython.

However, kmod Python extensions are built with -Wl,--no-undefined,
which checks that there isn't any unresolved symbol in the .so files
being built. This is not compatible with the new Python policy, so we
add a patch (submitted upstream) that passes -Wl,-z,undefs when
building the kmod Python extensions, to override the effect of
-Wl,--no-undefined.

+Subject: [PATCH kmod] Do not check for undefined symbols when building the
+ Python modules
+
+kmod's configure.ac uses the -Wl,--no-undefined linker flag to verify
+at link time that all symbols of shared libraries are available, and
+that there are no undefined symbols.
+
+This make perfect sense for regular shared libraries. However, for
+Python extensions, which will be dlopen()ed inside the Python
+interpreter, it makes less sense.
+
+Since Python 3.8, there is a change in python-config script and
+Python's pkg-config file: it no longer links Python extensions with
+the libpython library. See
+https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.8.html#debug-build-uses-the-same-abi-as-release-build
+which states:
+
+  On the other hand, pkg-config python3.8 --libs no longer contains
+  -lpython3.8. C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except on
+  Android and Cygwin, whose cases are handled by the script); this
+  change is backward incompatible on purpose. (Contributed by Victor
+  Stinner in bpo-36721.)
+
+So, when linking the kmod Python extensions, it currently fails with
+numerous unresolved symbols, that were previously provided by
+libpython:

+
+Linking with libpython is no longer recommended: those symbols should
+remain unresolved in the Python extensions, as they wil be properly
+resolved when the Python extension gets loaded into the Python
+interpreter.
+
+Since we want to keep -Wl,--no-undefined globally in kmod, we leave
+the configure.ac file unchanged, and instead, specifically in the
+LDFLAGS used to build the Python extensions, we override
+-Wl,--no-undefined with -Wl,-z,undefs. Ideally, -Wl,--no-undefined is
+the same as -Wl,-z,defs, and the effect of these options can be
+canceled on the linker command line by a following -Wl,-z,undefs (see
+the ld man page for details).
