[PATCH 1/4] Fix wrong source path in scripts/namespace.pl

[Amerigo Wang]

File::Find will do chdir automatically, so we need to get
the absolute patch with $File::Find::dir.

[PATCH 4/4] Improve namespace.pl to get more correct result

[Amerigo Wang]

Exclude more symbols from arch/x86/vdso/ and arch/x86/boot/;
add some more linker-defined symbols into exception list;
add other cond_syscalls besides "sys_*".

I use 'make namespacecheck'.

Actually, this shows it is working. :)

There are two reasons why you got so many of these:

1) You didn't do a 'make mrproper', so some source file may be
deleted or renamed in git repo;

2) There are no path/to/foo.c for path/to/foo.o which is
normal, we should add those files to exception list.

I got much fewer of such warning when I tested it.
