module: rename __kstrtab_ns_* to __kstrtabns_* to avoid symbol conflict
The module namespace produces __strtab_ns_<sym> symbols to store namespace strings, but it does not guarantee the name uniqueness. This is a potential problem because we have exported symbols starting with "ns_". For example, kernel/capability.c exports the following symbols: EXPORT_SYMBOL(ns_capable); EXPORT_SYMBOL(capable); Assume a situation where those are converted as follows: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(ns_capable, some_namespace); EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(capable, some_namespace); The former expands to "__kstrtab_ns_capable" and "__kstrtab_ns_ns_capable", and the latter to "__kstrtab_capable" and "__kstrtab_ns_capable". Then, we have the duplicated "__kstrtab_ns_capable". To ensure the uniqueness, rename "__kstrtab_ns_*" to "__kstrtabns_*".
