By default old_sympos will be 0, and patching will only succeed if the symbol is unique. Specifying a positive value will ensure that occurrence of the symbol in kallsyms for the patched object will be used for patching if it is valid. In addition, make old_addr an internal structure field not to be specified by the user. Finally, remove klp_find_verify_func_addr as it can be replaced by klp_find_object_symbol directly.
