Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Simplify module_get_kallsym() by dropping length arg
Hi, this is an attempt to fix some races between rmmod and some of those
pesky proc files. rmmod vs wchan race and rmmod vs kallsyms race were
actually triggered.
For the record, initial attempts to plug these races are here
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117404513602668&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117404513702680&w=2
They were done by making module_mutex global (but, of course, not exported)
Now that respin is done I don't know which series I like more. :-\
Probaly, some duplication among address resolution appeared.
Patch #1 and #3 only technically depend on others.
Please, review.

[PATCH 1/5] Simplify module_get_kallsym() by dropping length arg
module_get_kallsym() could in theory truncate module symbol name to fit
in buffer, but nobody does this. Always use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 bytes for name.
Suggested by lg^WRusty.
