Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kallsyms: Nuke all ChangeLog, this should be logged by git

Pointed out by Paulo:
"When I wrote this initially, it was a mistake to add a Changelog
in the first place, but I didn't know better at the time.

If you're going to make changes to this file, please remove all the
Changelog, instead of adding more entries to it. The "Changelog"
should be kept by the version control system, and not the source code itself."
