[SRU][G][PATCH 8/8] UBUNTU: SAUCE: Revert "modules: mark ref_module static"

[Ian May]

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

This reverts commit 49ea3be5063837093b76477b67445094b0ad45ef.

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

Reverting as SAUCE patches to prevent regressions.
