[PATCH 10/27] modpost: traverse unresolved symbols in order

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sun Apr 24 2022 - 15:11:00 EST


Currently, modpost manages unresolved in a singly liked list; it adds
a new node to the head, and traverses the list from new to old.

Use a doubly linked list to keep the order in the symbol table in the
ELF file.
