[PATCH v2 07/17] kallsyms: strip ThinLTO hashes from static functions

With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG and ThinLTO, Clang appends a hash to the names
of all static functions not marked __used. This can break userspace
tools that don't expect the function name to change, so strip out the
hash from the output.
