UBUNTU: SAUCE: Revert "modules: mark ref_module static"

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1932065
This reverts commit adec698db991c715cf457782ce36ca1efb689b37.

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

Temporarily reverting as SAUCE patches to allow customers time to
make necessary changes to support patch changes.
