[PATCH 1/8] ksym_tracer: Extract trace entry from struct trace_ksym

[Li Zefan]

struct trace_ksym is used as an entry in hbp list, and is also
used as trace_entry stored in ring buffer.

This is not necessary and is a waste of memory in ring buffer.

There is also a bug that dereferencing field->ksym_hbp in
ksym_trace_output() can be invalid.
