[RFC 3/4] module: add /proc/modules_update_version

[Hui Zhu]

With "BloodTest: perf", we can get the address of kernel from "cpu0/page"
without symbol.
The application that call BloodTest need translate the address to symbol
with itself.  For normal address, just vmlinux is OK to get the right
symbol.  But for the address of kernel module, it also need the address
of modules from /proc/modules.

Add /proc/modules_update_version will help the application to get if the
kernel modules address is changed or not.
