Subject: [PATCH 3/3] kallsyms: Unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol()

kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol() are exported to
modules despite having no in-tree users and being wide open to abuse by
out-of-tree modules that can use them as a method to invoke arbitrary
non-exported kernel functions.

Unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol().
