[patch 2.6.15 v2] Tell kallsyms_lookup_name() to ignore type U entries

[Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com>]

When one module exports a function symbol and another module uses that
symbol then kallsyms shows the symbol twice.  Once from the consumer
with a type of 'U' and once from the provider with a type of 't' or
'T'.  On most architectures, both entries have the same address so it
does not matter which one is returned by kallsyms_lookup_name().  But
on architectures with function descriptors, the 'U' entry points to the
descriptor, not to the code body, which is not what we want.

IA64 # grep -w qla2x00_remove_one /proc/kallsyms
a000000208c25ef8 U qla2x00_remove_one   [qla2300]   <= descriptor
a000000208bf44c0 t qla2x00_remove_one   [qla2xxx]   <= function body

Tell kallsyms_lookup_name() to ignore type U entries in modules.
