[SRU][G][PATCH 1/8] UBUNTU: SAUCE: Revert "modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE"

[Ian May]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1932065

This reverts commit a1364c5c1c767f8fac7cc17293324d46db255410.

Upstream introduced 'module' patches that removed exported symbols
that might cause potential disruption and breakage for customers.

Reverting as SAUCE patches to prevent regressions.
