[PATCH 6/7] livepatch: Use kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() to improve performance

[Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.com>]

Based on the test results of kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() and
kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), this can reduce the performance overhead by
approximately 95%, if CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y.
