[PATCH v2] kernel: kallsyms: memory override issue, need check destinationbuffer length

[Chen Gang]

  We don't export any symbols > 128 characters, but if we did then
  kallsyms_expand_symbol() would overflow the buffer handed to it.
  So we need check destination buffer length when copying.

  the related test:
    if we define an EXPORT function which name more than 128.
    will panic when call kallsyms_lookup_name by init_kprobes on booting.
    after check the length (provide this patch), it is ok.

  Implementaion:
    add additional destination buffer length parameter (maxlen)
    if uncompressed string is too long (>= maxlen), it will be truncated.
    not check the parameters whether valid, since it is a static function.
