[T58] kallsyms_selftest: finish

Functions kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol()
call the user-registered hook function for each symbol that meets the
requirements. Because it is uncertain how long that hook function will
execute, they call cond_resched() to avoid consuming CPU resources for a
long time. Therefore, they cannot be called with irqs disabled.

Given that people don't care about the performance of kallsyms, let's
simply remove it.

v1 --> v2:
1. Keep calling cond_resched() when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y. Instead,
   function kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
   are not protected by local_irq_save() in kallsyms_selftest.c.

v2 --> v3:
1. Remove the performance test functions.

I've dropped this in favor of Nick's fix and pushed to Linus.

OK, great. This problem finally landed before the Chinese New Year.
