Done. See comments below.

The new patch only shuffled the code to fix a compilation problem
with CONFIG_CALLSYMS undefined. It did not change the functionality.
Therefore I put back:

I was curious why so many lines were changed here. You converted
the 2nd tab to spaces. I put back the tab. The result is:

It is a bit too long for an inline function but I did not find a
better solution. It should always be defined and all suitable
.c files are compiled only under certain configuration. Well,
it is a nop on most architectures.
