Currently the sequence for crash searching a symbol is: 1) kernel symname
hash table, 2) iterate all kernel symbols, 3) iterate all kernel modules
and their symbols. In the worst case, if a non-exist symbol been searched,
all 3 stages will be went through. The time consuming status for each stage
is like:
stage 1 stage 2 stage 3
0.007000(ms) 0.593000(ms) 2.421000(ms)
stage 3 takes too much time when comparing to stage 1. So let's introduce a
symname hash table for kernel modules to improve the performance of symbol
searching.
