Subject: [PATCH] remove usage of memmem from scripts/kallsyms.c

The only in-kernel user of "memmem" is scripts/kallsyms.c and it only 
uses it to find tokens that are 2 bytes in size. It is trivial to 
replace it with a simple function that finds 2-byte tokens.

This should help users from systems that don't have the memmem GNU 
extension available.
