kallsyms: store type information in its own array
When a module is loaded, its symbols' Elf_Sym information is stored
in a symtab. Further, type information is also captured. Since
Elf_Sym has no type field, historically the st_info field has been
hijacked for storing type: st_info was overwritten.
commit 5439c985c5a83a8419f762115afdf560ab72a452 ("module: Overwrite
st_size instead of st_info") changes that practice, as its one-liner
indicates. Unfortunately, this change overwrites symbol size,
information that a tool like DTrace expects to find.
Allocate a typetab array to store type information so that no Elf_Sym
field needs to be overwritten.
Fixes: 5439c985c5a8 ("module: Overwrite st_size instead of st_info")
