In lots of KALLSYMS symbol resolution in modules, I've noticed the
appearance of symbols with no names:
Jun 27 20:55:26 raven kernel: [<10131440>] schedule_timeout+0x78/0xdc
Jun 27 20:55:26 raven kernel: [<000f8240>] +0x4e0/0x598 [sunrpc]
Jun 27 20:55:26 raven kernel: [<0014504c>] +0x150/0x43c [nfsd]
Jun 27 20:55:26 raven kernel: [<10109c5c>] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x1c/0x24
The problem seems to be that get_ksymbol doesn't eliminate empty symbol
names when it does resolution. The attached patch should fix this.
