The mismatch is caused by two variables called partition_name. What
does 'nm vmlinux | grep partition_name' show? Probably one
partition_name at c01aad00 and another at c014cba0. Both
fs/partitions/msdos.c and drivers/md/md.c define that symbol, md
exports its version. A good reason why exported symbols should have
unique names.

ksymoops has a hierarchy of trust. System.map is more trustworthy than
/proc/ksyms because ksyms changes, especially if you rebooted after the
oops and before running ksymoops.
