[PATCH] scripts/gdb: fix 'lx-symbols' section parsing

[Julian Blaauboer]

Loading a module using 'lx-symbols' in GDB would result in a
gdb.MemoryError when parsing the section names and addresses because of
the way GDB handles flexible array members. This patch fixes that issue
by converting the 'struct module_sect_attr[]' into a pointer before
accessing it.
