modpost: delegate updating namespaces to separate function
Let the function 'sym_update_namespace' take care of updating the namespace for a symbol. While this currently only replaces one single location where namespaces are updated, in a following patch, this function will get more call sites. The function signature is intentionally close to sym_update_crc and taking the name by char* seems like unnecessary work as the symbol has to be looked up again. In a later patch of this series, this concern will be addressed. This function ensures that symbol::namespace is either NULL or has a valid non-empty value. Previously, the empty string was considered 'no namespace' as well and this lead to confusion.
