modpost dumps the exported symbols into Module.symvers, but currently
in random order because it iterates in the hash table.
Add a linked list of exported symbols in struct module, so we can
iterate on symbols per module.
This commit makes Module.symvers much more readable; the outer loop in
write_dump() iterates over the modules in the order of modules.order,
and the inner loop dumps symbols in each module.
