We expect Just first one byte of '\0', but actually first two bytes
are '\0'. Here is The relationship between symtab and strtab.
symtab_idx strtab_idx symbol
-----------------------------------------------
0 0x1 "\0" # startab_idx should be 0
1 0x2 "kmap_atomic"
2 0xe "xfer_funcs"
3 0x19 "find_fr..."
By applying this patch, it becomes as follows.
symtab_idx strtab_idx symbol
-----------------------------------------------
0 0x0 "\0" # extra byte is removed
1 0x1 "kmap_atomic"
2 0xd "xfer_funcs"
3 0x18 "find_fr..."
