[PATCH 2/3] samples/hw_breakpoint: Drop use of kallsyms_lookup_name()

From: Will Deacon
Date: Fri Feb 21 2020 - 06:44:22 EST


The 'data_breakpoint' test code is the only modular user of
kallsyms_lookup_name(), which was exported as part of fixing the test in
f60d24d2ad04 ("hw-breakpoints: Fix broken hw-breakpoint sample module").

In preparation for un-exporting this symbol, switch the test over to
using __symbol_get(), which can be used to place breakpoints on exported
symbols.
