[PATCH v4 4/8] module loader: use kflagstab instead of *_gpl sections

[Siddharth Nayyar <sidnayyar@google.com>]

Read kflagstab section for vmlinux and modules to determine whether
kernel symbols are GPL only.

This patch eliminates the need for fragmenting the ksymtab for infering
the value of GPL-only symbol flag. The fragmentation of ksymtab is
removed in subsequent patches.
