[RFC 3/3] trace: print address if symbol not found

From: Tobin C. Harding
Date: Mon Nov 27 2017 - 17:30:57 EST


Fixes behaviour modified by: commit bd6b239cdbb2 ("kallsyms: don't leak
address when symbol not found")

Previous patch changed behaviour of kallsyms function sprint_symbol() to
return an error code instead of printing the address if a symbol was not
found. Ftrace relies on the original behaviour. We should not break
tracing when applying the previous patch. We can maintain the original
behaviour by checking the return code on calls to sprint_symbol() and
friends.

Check return code and print actual address on error (i.e symbol not
found).
