Jessica Yu 2d25bc5523 module: make it clearer when we're handling kallsyms symbols vs exported symbols
The module loader internally works with both exported symbols
represented as struct kernel_symbol, as well as Elf symbols from a
module's symbol table. It's hard to distinguish sometimes which type of
symbol we're handling given that some helper function names are not
consistent or helpful. Take get_ksymbol() for instance - are we
looking for an exported symbol or a kallsyms symbol here? Or symname()
and kernel_symbol_name() - which function handles an exported symbol and
which one an Elf symbol?

Clean up and unify the function naming scheme a bit to make it clear
which kind of symbol we're handling. This change only affects static
functions internal to the module loader.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
