While running kprobe module test, find_module_all() caused
a suspicious RCU usage warning.

-----
 =============================
 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 5.4.0-next-20191202+ #63 Not tainted
 -----------------------------
 kernel/module.c:619 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

 other info that might help us debug this:


 rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
 1 lock held by rmmod/642:
  #0: ffffffff8227da80 (module_mutex){+.+.}, at: __x64_sys_delete_module+0x9a/0x230

This is because list_for_each_entry_rcu(modules) is called
without rcu_read_lock(). This is safe because the module_mutex
is locked.

Pass lockdep_is_held(&module_lock) to the list_for_each_entry_rcu()
to suppress this warning, This also fixes similar issue in
mod_find() and each_symbol_section().
