[PATCH 2/7] module: take rcu_read_lock_sched for find_symbol

From: Cong Wang
Date: Thu Mar 15 2012 - 10:49:48 EST


find_symbol() iterates module list with list_for_each_entry_rcu()
should its caller should hold rcu_read_lock_sched().

This patch changes the module_mutex to rcu_read_lock_sched in
resolve_symbol() and adds rcu_read_lock_sched in verify_export_symbols().
