kallsyms: rework symbol lookup return codes
Building with W=1 in some configurations produces a false positive warning for kallsyms: kernel/kallsyms.c: In function '__sprint_symbol.isra': kernel/kallsyms.c:503:17: error: 'strcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict] 503 | strcpy(buffer, name); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This originally showed up while building with -O3, but later started happening in other configurations as well, depending on inlining decisions. The underlying issue is that the local 'name' variable is always initialized to the be the same as 'buffer' in the called functions that fill the buffer, which gcc notices while inlining, though it could see that the address check always skips the copy. The calling conventions here are rather unusual, as all of the internal lookup functions (bpf_address_lookup, ftrace_mod_address_lookup, ftrace_func_address_lookup, module_address_lookup and kallsyms_lookup_buildid) already use the provided buffer and either return the address of that buffer to indicate success, or NULL for failure, but the callers are written to also expect an arbitrary other buffer to be returned. Rework the calling conventions to return the length of the filled buffer instead of its address, which is simpler and easier to follow as well as avoiding the warning. Leave only the kallsyms_lookup() calling conventions unchanged, since that is called from 16 different functions and adapting this would be a much bigger change.
