livepatch: add module locking around kallsyms calls
The list of loaded modules is walked through in module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol (called by kallsyms_on_each_symbol). The module_mutex lock should be acquired to prevent potential corruptions in the list. This was uncovered with new lockdep asserts in module code introduced by the commit 0be964be0d45 ("module: Sanitize RCU usage and locking") in recent next- trees.
