The existing mechanisms in get_symbol_pos to determine the end of a
symbol is an inaccurate heuristic.  By passing nm -S output into
scripts/kallsyms.c and writing the symbol sizes to a new .kallsyms_sizes
section, we can get accurate sizes and sort the symbols accordingly,
reliably sorting zero-size symbols first (on the grounds that they are
usually e.g. section markers, and other symbols at the same address are
conceptually contained within them and should be sorted after them),
then larger symbols before smaller ones (so that overlapping symbols
print the containing symbol first, before its containees).  We can
also use this to improve aliased symbol detection.

Emit the size info as an extra column in /proc/kallmodsyms (since its
format is not yet set in stone), and export it to iterator consumers.

The notable downside of this is that the new .kallsyms_sizes is pretty
big: a PTR per symbol, so vmlinux.o grows by almost a megabyte, though
it compresses pretty well, so bzImage grows by only a megabyte.

I'm not sure how to reduce this.  A simple scheme to reduce this might
involve making the table sparse (pairs of symbol index/size), and recording
explicit sizes only for those symbols that are not immediately followed by a
subsequent symbol: but I have no real idea how effective this would be yet.

In the absence of a way to shrink things, this should probably be hidden
behind a new config symbol if exposed at all, and kallmodsyms just shows
zero sizes if it's configured out (but this is enough of an RFC that
that's not yet done: possibly the benefits of this are too marginal to
be worth it, even if they do let kall(mod)syms consumers distinguish
symbols from padding, which was previously impossible).
