[cc'ing folks whose proc files are affected]

kallsyms_lookup() can call module_address_lookup() which iterates over
modules list without module_mutex taken. Comment at the top of
module_address_lookup() says it's for oops resolution so races are
irrelevant, but in some cases it's reachable from regular code:
