[PATCH v4 1/3] kallsyms: move kallsyms_show_value() out of kallsyms.c

[Maninder Singh]

function kallsyms_show_value() is used by other parts
like modules_open(), kprobes_read() etc. which can work in case of
!KALLSYMS also.

e.g. as of now lsmod do not show module address if KALLSYMS is disabled.
since kallsyms_show_value() defination is not present, it returns false
in !KALLSYMS.

/ # lsmod
test 12288 0 - Live 0x0000000000000000 (O)

So kallsyms_show_value() can be made generic
without dependency on KALLSYMS.

Thus moving out function to a new file ksyms_common.c.

With this patch code is just moved to new file
and no functional change.

was stashed from linux-next, now it can be pushed)

v1 -> v2: separate out bpf and kallsyms change
v2 -> v3: make kallsym changes in2 patches, non functional and
functional change
v3 -> v4: patch order changed, file name changed form knosyms -> ksyms_common
and copyright header modified.
