Masahiro Yamada bf70b0503a module: swap the order of symbol.namespace 
Currently, EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(_GPL) constructs the kernel symbol as
follows:

  __ksymtab_SYMBOL.NAMESPACE

The sym_extract_namespace() in modpost allocates memory for the part
SYMBOL.NAMESPACE when '.' is contained. One problem is that the pointer
returned by strdup() is lost because the symbol name will be copied to
malloc'ed memory by alloc_symbol(). No one will keep track of the
pointer of strdup'ed memory.

sym->namespace still points to the NAMESPACE part. So, you can free it
with complicated code like this:

   free(sym->namespace - strlen(sym->name) - 1);

It complicates memory free.

To fix it elegantly, I swapped the order of the symbol and the
namespace as follows:

  __ksymtab_NAMESPACE.SYMBOL

then, simplified sym_extract_namespace() so that it allocates memory
only for the NAMESPACE part.

I prefer this order because it is intuitive and also matches to major
languages. For example, NAMESPACE::NAME in C++, MODULE.NAME in Python.
