Count kernel warnings by function name of the caller.
Each time WARN() is called, which includes WARN_ON(), increment a counter
in a 256-entry hash table. The table key is the entry point of the calling
function, which is found using kallsyms.
We store the name of the function in the table (because it may be a
module address); reporting the metric just walks the table and prints
the values.
The "warnings" metric is cumulative.

jwadams@xxxxxxxxxx: rebased to 5.8-rc6, removed google-isms,
added lockdep_assert_held(), NMI handling, ..._unknown*_counts
and locking in warn_tbl_fn(); renamed warn_metric... to
warn_tbl...
The original work was done in 2012 by an engineer no longer
at Google.
