module: fix crash in get_ksymbol() when oopsing in module init

Andrew had the sole pleasure of tickling this bug in linux-next; when we set
up "info->strtab" it's pointing into the temporary copy of the module.  For
most uses that is fine, but kallsyms keeps a pointer around during module
load (inside mod->strtab).

If we oops for some reason inside a module's init function, kallsyms will use
the mod->strtab pointer into the now-freed temporary module copy.

(Later oopses work fine: after init we overwrite mod->strtab to point to a
 compacted core-only strtab).
