[RFC 1/3] kallsyms: don't leak address when symbol not found

["Tobin C. Harding" <me@tobin.cc>]

Currently if kallsyms_lookup() fails to find the symbol then the address
is printed. This potentially leaks sensitive information. Instead of
printing the address we can return an error, giving the calling code the
option to print the address or print some sanitized message.

Return error instead of printing address to argument buffer. Leave
buffer in a sane state.
