sprint_symbol(): use less stack 

sprint_symbol(), itself used when dumping stacks, has been wasting 128
bytes of stack: lookup the symbol directly into the buffer supplied by the
caller, instead of using a locally declared namebuf.

I believe the name != buffer strcpy() is obsolete: the design here dates
from when module symbol lookup pointed into a supposedly const but sadly
volatile table; nowadays it copies, but an uncalled strcpy() looks better
here than the risk of a recursive BUG_ON().
