kernel/module.c: compare symbol values when marking symbols as exported in /proc/kallsyms.

When there are two symbols in a module with the same name, one of which is
exported, both will be marked as exported in /proc/kallsyms.  There aren't
any instances of this in the current kernel, but it is easy to construct a
simple module with two compilation units that exhibits the problem.

$ objdump -j .text -t testmod.ko | grep foo
00000000 l     F .text	00000032 foo
00000080 g     F .text	00000001 foo
$ sudo insmod testmod.ko
$ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms
c28e8000 T foo	[testmod]
c28e8080 T foo	[testmod]

Fix this by comparing the symbol values once we've found the exported
symbol table entry matching the symbol name.  Tested using Ksplice:

$ ksplice-create --patch=this_commit.patch --id=bar .
$ sudo ksplice-apply ksplice-bar.tar.gz
Done!
$ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms
c28e8080 T foo	[testmod]
