Aaron Tomlin e69a66147d module: kallsyms: Ensure preemption in add_kallsyms() with PREEMPT_RT
The commit 08126db5ff ("module: kallsyms: Fix suspicious rcu usage")
under PREEMPT_RT=y, disabling preemption introduced an unbounded
latency since the loop is not fixed. This change caused a regression
since previously preemption was not disabled and we would dereference
RCU-protected pointers explicitly. That being said, these pointers
cannot change.

Before kallsyms-specific data is prepared/or set-up, we ensure that
the unformed module is known to be unique i.e. does not already exist
(see load_module()). Therefore, we can fix this by using the common and
more appropriate RCU flavour as this section of code can be safely
preempted.
