Subject: [PATCH] scripts/gdb: fix 'lx-lsmod' show the wrong size

'lsmod' shows total core layout size, so we need to
sum up all the sections in core layout in gdb scripts.

/ # lsmod
kasan_test 200704 0 - Live 0xffff80007f640000

Before patch:
(gdb) lx-lsmod
Address Module Size Used by
0xffff80007f640000 kasan_test 36864 0

After patch:
(gdb) lx-lsmod
Address Module Size Used by
0xffff80007f640000 kasan_test 200704 0

Fixes: b4aff7513df3 ("scripts/gdb: use mem instead of core_layout to get the module address")

Just one minor comment, but apart from that, feel free to add:

We could slightly modify the code to remove the special condition with `i == constants.LX_MOD_TEXT`:

(I made changes on top of your patch)
