Subject: scripts/gdb: fix lx-symbols 'gdb.error' while loading modules
Commit ed66f991bb19 ("module: Refactor section attr into bin
attribute") removed the 'name' field from 'struct module_sect_attr'
triggering the following error when invoking lx-symbols:
(gdb) lx-symbols
loading vmlinux
scanning for modules in linux/build
loading @0xffffffffc014f000: linux/build/drivers/net/tun.ko
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> There is no member named name.:
Error occurred in Python: There is no member named name.
This patch fixes the issue taking the module name from the 'struct
attribute'.
