kallsyms_lookup_buildid() copies the symbol name into the given buffer
so that it can be safely read anytime later. But it just copies pointers
to mod->name and mod->build_id which might get reused after the related
struct module gets removed.
The lifetime of struct module is synchronized using RCU. Take the rcu
read lock for the entire __sprint_symbol().
