Subject: [PATCH 38/46] Kbuild, lto: don't include weak source file symbols in System.map

From: Andi Kleen <andi@...stfloor.org>

The gcc LTO build can generate some extra weak source code file name
symbols on the second kallsyms link like:
  0000000002fdf20a W head64.c.552cf5a6

This causes the "Inconsistent kallsyms data" error due to mismatches in
the stage1 vs stage2 kallsyms link. Filter those out when generating
the System.map.
