Subject: [PATCH v8 08/14] livepatch: only match unique symbols when using FG-KASLR

If any type of function granular randomization is enabled, the sympos
algorithm will fail, as it will be impossible to resolve symbols when
there are duplicates using the previous symbol position.

We could override sympos to 0, but make it more clear to the user
and bail out if the symbol is not unique.
