scripts: Exclude Rust CUs with pahole

Version 1.24 of pahole has the capability to exclude compilation units (CUs) of specific languages [1] [2]. Rust, as of writing, is not currently supported by pahole and if it's used with a build that has BTF debugging enabled it results in malformed kernel and module binaries [3]. So it's better for pahole to exclude Rust CUs until support for it arrives.
