Fix race between cat /proc/*/wchan and rmmod et al

kallsyms_lookup() can go iterating over modules list unprotected which is OK
for emergency situations (oops), but not OK for regular stuff like
/proc/*/wchan.

Introduce lookup_symbol_name()/lookup_module_symbol_name() which copy symbol
name into caller-supplied buffer or return -ERANGE.  All copying is done with
module_mutex held, so...
