Summary of modules changes for the 5.6 merge window:
- Add "MS" (SHF_MERGE|SHF_STRINGS) section flags to __ksymtab_strings to
indicate to the linker that it can perform string deduplication (i.e.,
duplicate strings are reduced to a single copy in the string table).
This means any repeated namespace string would be merged to just one
entry in __ksymtab_strings.
- Various code cleanups and small fixes (fix small memleak in error path,
improve moduleparam docs, silence rcu warnings, improve error logging)
