Subject: [PATCH 05/28] module: Use RCU in module_get_kallsym().
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2025 10:04:34 +0100

The modules list and module::kallsyms can be accessed under RCU
assumption.

Iterate the modules with RCU protection, use rcu_dereference() to access
the kallsyms pointer.
