[PATCH v2] init, allow blacklisting of module_init functions

From: Prarit Bhargava
Date: Thu Jun 16 2016 - 20:46:36 EST


sprint_symbol_no_offset() returns the string "function_name [module_name]"
where [module_name] is not printed for built in kernel functions. This
means that the blacklisting code will fail when comparing module function
names with the extended string. This patch adds the functionality to
block a module's module_init() function by finding the space in the string
and truncating the comparison to that length.

[v2]: linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, switch to strreplace()
