kallsyms: refactor {,module_}kallsyms_on_each_symbol
Require an explicit call to module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol to look for symbols in modules instead of the call from kallsyms_on_each_symbol, and acquire module_mutex inside of module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol instead of leaving that up to the caller. Note that this slightly changes the behavior for the livepatch code in that the symbols from vmlinux are not iterated anymore if objname is set, but that actually is the desired behavior in this case.
