To disable preemption in the context of add_kallsyms() is incorrect. Before kallsyms-specific data is prepared/or set-up, we ensure that the unformed module is known to be unique i.e. does not already exist (see load_module()). Therefore, we can fix this by using the common RCU primitive as this section of code can be safely preempted.
