[PATCH v2 2/2] kallsyms: add kallsyms_show_value defination in all cases

From: Maninder Singh
Date: Wed May 31 2023 - 04:49:24 EST


kallsyms_show_value return false if KALLSYMS is disabled,
but it is getting used in module.c also for fetching module address.

Thus when KALLSYMS is disabled, system will not print module
load address:

Earlier:
=======
/ # insmod test.ko
/ # lsmod
test 12288 0 - Live 0x0000000000000000 (O) // No Module Load address
/ #

With change:
==========
/ # insmod test.ko
/ # lsmod
test 12288 0 - Live 0xffff800000fc0000 (O) // Module address
/ # cat /proc/modules
test 12288 0 - Live 0xffff800000fc0000 (O)

New file knosyms.c is added (name suggested by Kees Cook),
which includes common defination irrespective of CONFIG_KALLSYMS.
