Masahiro Yamada 79f646e865 modpost: remove annoying namespace_from_kstrtabns()
There are two call sites for sym_update_namespace().

When the symbol has no namespace, s->namespace is set to NULL,
but the conversion from "" to NULL is done in two different places.

[1] read_symbols()

  This gets the namespace from __kstrtabns_<symbol>. If the symbol has
  no namespace, sym_get_data(info, sym) returns the empty string "".
  namespace_from_kstrtabns() converts it to NULL before it is passed to
  sym_update_namespace().

[2] read_dump()

  This gets the namespace from the dump file, *.symvers. If the symbol
  has no namespace, the 'namespace' is the empty string "", which is
  directly passed into sym_update_namespace(). The conversion from
  "" to NULL is done in sym_update_namespace().

namespace_from_kstrtabns() exists only for creating this inconsistency.

Remove namespace_from_kstrtabns() so that sym_update_namespace() is
consistently passed with "" instead of NULL.
