[RFC PATCH 09/11] kallsyms: hide layout and expose seed

To support finer grained kaslr (fgkaslr), we need to make a couple changes
to kallsyms. Firstly, we need to hide our sorted list of symbols, since
this will give away our new layout. Secondly, we will export the seed used
for randomizing the layout so that it can be used to make a particular
layout persist across boots for debug purposes.
