kallsyms: prevent module removal when printing module name and buildid

kallsyms_lookup_buildid() copies the symbol name into the given buffer so
that it can be safely read anytime later. But it just copies pointers to
mod->name and mod->build_id which might get reused after the related
struct module gets removed.

The lifetime of struct module is synchronized using RCU. Take the rcu
read lock for the entire __sprint_symbol().
