Subject: [PATCH 1/5] kdb: fix compile error without CONFIG_KALLSYMS

If CONFIG_KGDB_KDB is set and CONFIG_KALLSYMS is not set the kernel
will fail to build with the error:

kernel/built-in.o: In function `kallsyms_symbol_next':
kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_support.c:237: undefined reference to `kdb_walk_kallsyms'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `kallsyms_symbol_complete':
kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_support.c:193: undefined reference to `kdb_walk_kallsyms'

The kdb_walk_kallsyms needs a #ifdef proper header to match the C
implementation.  This patch also fixes the compiler warnings in
kdb_support.c when compiling without CONFIG_KALLSYMS set.  The
compiler warnings are a result of the kallsyms_lookup() macro not
initializing the two of the pass by reference variables.
