Note: Whitespace at end of line.

I understand it's common practice with bitbake recipes to compare to '1'
as a string. However, this isn't documented in the usae of
INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP, and it seems reasonable that someone might try
setting "True" or "yes" or some other common affirmative label.

Scott, can we update the ref manual glossary to indicate that assigning
to the string "1" is the way to set this to true?

Not a big deal, but you can drop the "not" and the "continue" and only
runtstrip if the file ends with ".ko" since there isn't anything else
done in the loop.
