The @modname and @modbuildid optional return parameters are set only
when the symbol is in a module.
Always initialize them so that they do not need to be cleared when
the module is not in a module. It simplifies the logic and makes
the code even slightly more safe.
Note that bpf_address_lookup() function will get updated in a separate
patch.
