If the kernel crashed while running a module's initcall, then the
mod->init_size is not zero and in this case crash fails while gathering
module symbol data with:
crash: store_module_symbols_v2: total: 7 mcnt: 8
This seems to be because store_module_symbols_v2 will add pseudo-symbols
for MODULE_INIT_START and MODULE_INIT_END, while the "total" calculation
in module_init() doesn't account for this.
For reference, a log with -d8:
