Subject: [PATCH 2/8] scripts/gdb/modules: add get module text support

When we get an text address from coredump and we cannot find
this address in vmlinux, it might located in kernel module.

We want to know which kernel module it located in.

This GDB scripts can help us to find the target kernel module.

(gdb) lx-getmod-by-textaddr 0xffff800002d305ac
0xffff800002d305ac is in kasan_test.ko
