Functions for searching module kallsyms should have non-empty

only CONFIG_MODULES check was used for many of these, which may have
caused complilation errors on some configs.

This patch moves all relevant functions under the correct configs.

Thanks Viktor! Does this fix something from an existing commit? If so
which one? The commit log should mention it.

Ah, right, I forgot about that. The commit log is missing:

Fixes: bd5314f8dd2d ("kallsyms, bpf: Move find_kallsyms_symbol_value out of internal header")

I can post v2 but I'm also fine with maintainers applying the tag.

That patch went through the bpf tree so its fix can go throug that tree.
So up to Daniel if he wants a new patch.

Fixing up is fine with me. Viktor, which config combinations did you test for this
patch and under which architectures?

I suspect kbuild bot might still complain. For example, your patch moves
dereference_module_function_descriptor() stub definition under !CONFIG_MODULES ||
!CONFIG_KALLSYMS. Looking at ppc's dereference_module_function_descriptor()
implementation (!CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V2 case), it's build under CONFIG_MODULES,
so you'll have two different implementations of the functions, the generic one
then w/o __weak attribute.

Also small nit, please fix the patch up wrt indentation to align with kernel coding
style.

Thanks,
Daniel
