kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in modpost
The relocation record sometimes contained an address which was not an exactly match for a symbol. Implment some simple logic such that if there is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained in the relocation record then print the name of this symbol. With this change modpost could find symbol names for the remaining .init.text symbols in my allyesconfig build for x86_64. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
