Script currently times out when parsing the following files:

	/proc/kallsyms
	/proc/sched_debug
	/proc/PID/smaps

None of these files leak kernel addresses. We can skip parsing them.

Add entries to list of files to skip.

Seems like kallsyms would be one to absolutely scan... it shouldn't
cause hangs either.

Haven't we fixed kallsyms now? Do you mean that we should be checking to
see if the scanned kernel has been patched to include the kallsysms
fixes in 4.14? If so perhaps we should add functionality to just check
the first line for an address and warn if one is found. No real reason
to include ever address in kallsyms in the output.

Script doesn't hang but it times out with the default timer (10 seconds). 

thanks,
Tobin.
