[PATCH] module: Fix missing to hold module_mutex lock in module_kallsyms_lookup_name

[He Kuang]

Function find_module_all() searches for module by name and must be
called with module_mutex. module_kallsyms_lookup_name() calls it without
this mutex which emits a warning message (CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y) by failed
assertion for testing this module_mutex lock, as following:

  [  202.877152] ------------[ cut here ]------------
  [  202.881070] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1010 at kernel/module.c:281
     module_assert_mutex+0x35/0x40()
  [  202.885446] Modules linked in: test_bpf
  [  202.886997] CPU: 0 PID: 1010 Comm: perf Tainted: G  W  4.2.0-rc3+ #5
  ...

This patch wraps this call with mutex_{lock,unlock} and fix the bug.
