[PATCH 2/5] Fix race between rmmod and cat /proc/kallsyms

[Alexey Dobriyan]

module_get_kallsym() leaks "struct module *" outside of module_mutex
which is no-no, because module can dissapear right after mutex unlock.

Copy all needed information from inside module_mutex into caller-supplied
space.
