Extend print_symbol capability
Today's print_symbol function dumps a kernel symbol with printk. This patch extends the functionality of kallsyms.c so that the symbol lookup function may be used without the printk. This is useful for modules that want to dump symbols elsewhere, for example, to debugfs. I intend to use the new function call in the GFS2 file system (which will be a separate patch).
