[PATCH v4 7/8] livepatch: Improve the search performance of module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol()

[Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently we traverse all symbols of all modules to find the specified
function for the specified module. But in reality, we just need to find
the given module and then traverse all the symbols in it.

In order to achieve this purpose, split the call to hook 'fn' into two
phases:
1. Finds the given module. Pass pointer 'mod'. Hook 'fn' directly returns
   the comparison result of the module name without comparing the function
   name.
2. Finds the given function in that module. Pass pointer 'mod = NULL'.
   Hook 'fn' skip the comparison of module name and directly compare
   function names.

Phase1: mod1-->mod2..(subsequent modules do not need to be compared)
                |
Phase2:          -->f1-->f2-->f3
