vmcoreinfo: include kallsyms symbols

The internal kallsyms tables contain information which could be quite
useful to a debugging tool in the absence of other debuginfo.  If kallsyms
is enabled, then a debugging tool could parse it and use it as a fallback
symbol table.  Combined with BTF data, live & post-mortem debuggers can
support basic operations without needing a large DWARF debuginfo file
available.  As many as five symbols are necessary to properly parse
kallsyms names and addresses.  Add these to the vmcoreinfo note.

CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU does impact the computation of symbol
addresses.  However, a debugger can infer this configuration value by
comparing the address of _stext in the vmcoreinfo with the address
computed via kallsyms.  So there's no need to include information about
this config value in the vmcoreinfo note.

To verify that we're still well below the maximum of 4096 bytes, I created
a script[1] to compute a rough upper bound on the possible size of
vmcoreinfo.  On v5.18-rc7, the script reports 3106 bytes, and with this
patch, the maximum become 3370 bytes.
