kallsyms: expand symbol name into comment for debugging

Browse Source 
The assembler output of kallsyms.c is not meant for people to understand,
and is generally not helpful when debugging "Inconsistent kallsyms data"
warnings. I have previously struggled with these, but found it helpful
to list which symbols changed between the first and second pass in the
.tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms*.S files.

As this file is preprocessed, it's possible to add a C-style multiline
comment with the full type/name tuple.
