livepatch: Improve the search performance of module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
Currently we traverse all symbols of all modules to find the specified function for the specified module. But in reality, we just need to find the given module and then traverse all the symbols in it. Let's add a new parameter 'const char *modname' to function module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), then we can compare the module names directly in this function and call hook 'fn' after matching. If 'modname' is NULL, the symbols of all modules are still traversed for compatibility with other usage cases. Phase1: mod1-->mod2..(subsequent modules do not need to be compared) | Phase2: -->f1-->f2-->f3 Assuming that there are m modules, each module has n symbols on average, then the time complexity is reduced from O(m * n) to O(m) + O(n).
