Ksplice: Add functions for walking kallsyms symbols

Impact: New API

kallsyms_lookup_name only returns the first match that it finds.  Ksplice
needs information about all symbols with a given name in order to correctly
resolve local symbols.

kallsyms_on_each_symbol provides a generic mechanism for iterating over the
kallsyms table.
