[PATCH v2 13/26] modpost: split new_symbol() to symbol allocation and hash table addition

[Masahiro Yamada]

new_symbol() does two things; allocate a new symbol and register it
to the hash table.

Using a separate function for each is easier to understand.

Replace new_symbol() with hash_add_symbol(). Remove the second parameter
of alloc_symbol().
