Subject: [PATCH v6] modules: add heuristic when stripping unneeded symbols
If kernel modules are stripped off symbols for some reason then stack
traces in dmesg do not show symbol name for address. It just prints
absolute address sometimes (if there is no good match with any symbol)
This was seen with OpenWrt which uses option INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=
"--strip-unneeded" at kernel/module build/install time, and so modules
are stripped off unneeded symbols.

Note RIP: 0010:0xffffffffc06b67ec and 0xffffffffc06b67ec printed in above
stack trace as absolute address. There is no easy way in case box crashes
as we loose information on load address of specific module.
This changes the symbol decoding (in kernel/module.c) such that it can
print offset from start of section (.text or .init.text) in case there
is no good match with any symbol.
It will now decode address in such cases to [module]+ offset/size or
[module __init]+offset/size depending on where the address lies (in
core/.text or init/.init.text section of module).
One can use objdump/readelf/nm to find symbols with offset from .init.text
and .text sections.
steps to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------
1. Add WARN_ON_ONCE(1) in module e.g. test_module.c
2. Build and strip the module using --strip-unneeded option
3. Load the module and check RIP in dmesg
tests done:
-----------
1. Added WARN_ON_ONE(1) in functions of a module for testing

init start now.
