[RFC PATCH] kernel/kallsyms.c: only show legal kernel symbol

[Ming Lei]

Address of non-module kernel symbol should always be located
from CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET on, so only show these legal kernel
symbols in /proc/kallsyms.

On ARM, some symbols(see below) may drop in relocatable code, so
perf can't parse kernel symbols any more from /proc/kallsyms, this
patch fixes the problem.

	00000000 t __vectors_start
	00000020 A cpu_v7_suspend_size
	00001000 t __stubs_start
	00001004 t vector_rst
	00001020 t vector_irq
	000010a0 t vector_dabt
	00001120 t vector_pabt
	000011a0 t vector_und
	00001220 t vector_addrexcptn
	00001224 t vector_fiq
	00001224 T vector_fiq_offset

The issue can be fixed in scripts/kallsyms.c too, but looks this
approach is easier.
