Module.symvers names an export's owner by build path, and the kernel knows
modules by their runtime name. Without normalizing one to the other, an
export owned by a module is not recognised as owned by anything, and a
reference that should become a klp relocation stays an ordinary one.
This tests the behavior of commit 8668bf91e050 ("objtool/klp: Normalize
Module.symvers paths to module names").
