Song Liu fb6a421fb6 kallsyms: Match symbols exactly with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG
With CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the compiler may add .llvm.<hash> suffix to
function names to avoid duplication. APIs like kallsyms_lookup_name()
and kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() tries to match these symbol names
without the .llvm.<hash> suffix, e.g., match "c_stop" with symbol
c_stop.llvm.17132674095431275852. This turned out to be problematic
for use cases that require exact match, for example, livepatch.

Fix this by making the APIs to match symbols exactly.

Also cleanup kallsyms_selftests accordingly.
