kallsyms: fix segfault in prefix_underscores_count()
Commit b478b78 "kallsyms, tracing: output more proper symbol name" introduces a "bugfix" that introduces a segfault in kallsyms in my configurations. The cause is the introduction of prefix_underscores_count() which attempts to count underscores, even in symbols that do not have them. As a result, it just uselessly runs past the end of the buffer until it crashes: CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.S /bin/sh: line 1: 16934 Done sh-linux-gnu-nm -n .tmp_vmlinux1 16935 Segmentation fault | scripts/kallsyms > .tmp_kallsyms1.S make: *** [.tmp_kallsyms1.S] Error 139 This simplifies the logic and just does a straightforward count.
