yep, the code assumes (correctly) that symtab_type is
either _SYSTEM_PATH_KMODULE or _GUEST_KMODULE.

Namhyung placed the _COMP enum right behind 'no comp' values:

enum dso_binary_type {
	...
        DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_KMODULE,
        DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_KMODULE_COMP,
        DSO_BINARY_TYPE__SYSTEM_PATH_KMODULE,
        DSO_BINARY_TYPE__SYSTEM_PATH_KMODULE_COMP,
	...

so we could safely just increase the symtab_type in case
we detect it's compressed kernel module.

Perhaps the code could be more verbose on this, but since such
comment wasn't part of the previous code I did not feel the need
to add it now ;-)
