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.

This change is not needed. (objname == NULL) means that we are
interested only in symbols in "vmlinux".

module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(klp_find_callback, &args)
will always fail when objname == NULL.

Petr
