[PATCH v2] kallsyms: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y

[T58] kallsyms_selftest: finish
The execution time of function kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() is very
short, about ten microseconds, the probability of this process being
interrupted is very small. And even if it happens, we just have to try
again.
The execution time of function kallsyms_on_each_symbol() is very long,
it takes tens of milliseconds, context switches is likely occur during
this period. If the time obtained by task_cputime() is accurate, it is
preferred. Otherwise, use local_clock() directly, and the time taken by
irqs and high-priority tasks is not deducted because they are always
running for a short time.

v1 --> v2:
1. Keep calling cond_resched() when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y. Instead,
function kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
are not protected by local_irq_save() in kallsyms_selftest.c.
