sprint_symbol(): use less stack
sprint_symbol(), itself used when dumping stacks, has been wasting 128 bytes of stack: lookup the symbol directly into the buffer supplied by the caller, instead of using a locally declared namebuf. I believe the name != buffer strcpy() is obsolete: the design here dates from when module symbol lookup pointed into a supposedly const but sadly volatile table; nowadays it copies, but an uncalled strcpy() looks better here than the risk of a recursive BUG_ON().
