module: make it clearer when we're handling kallsyms symbols vs exported symbols
The module loader internally works with both exported symbols represented as struct kernel_symbol, as well as Elf symbols from a module's symbol table. It's hard to distinguish sometimes which type of symbol we're handling given that some helper function names are not consistent or helpful. Take get_ksymbol() for instance - are we looking for an exported symbol or a kallsyms symbol here? Or symname() and kernel_symbol_name() - which function handles an exported symbol and which one an Elf symbol? Clean up and unify the function naming scheme a bit to make it clear which kind of symbol we're handling. This change only affects static functions internal to the module loader.
