[PATCH] kallsyms: strip LTO suffixes from static functions

[Nick Desaulniers]

Similar to:
commit 8b8e6b5d3b01 ("kallsyms: strip ThinLTO hashes from static
functions")

It's very common for compilers to modify the symbol name for static
functions as part of optimizing transformations. That makes hooking
static functions (that weren't inlined or DCE'd) with kprobes difficult.

Full LTO uses a different mangling scheme than thin LTO; full LTO
imports all code into effectively one big translation unit. It must
rename static functions to prevent collisions. Strip off these suffixes
so that we can continue to hook such static functions.
