[LTP] [PATCH v2] cve: Fix kernel symbol finding for meltdown case

[zhe.he]

From: He Zhe <zhe.he@windriver.com>

meltdown case fails as below.
safe_file_ops.c:219: BROK: Expected 3 conversions got 2 at meltdown.c:272

find_kernel_symbol is defined to try twice with each of /proc/kallsyms and
/boot/System.map-%s. Currently if the symbol is not found in /proc/kallsyms,
when kernel option CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is disabled, it would stop the case
immediately due to SAFE_FILE_LINES_SCANF.

This patch turns to use FILE_LINES_SCANF to give find_kernel_symbol second
chance.

That explains it, thanks for the patch.

We should also tweak TCONF condition in find_kernel_symbol - no need
to re-post for that, I can add that.

Pushed, also with tweak for commit 7709d2ae92ea, so we try System.map,
even if kallsyms are completely disabled.
