I'm sure there's a way to pass the kallsyms_num_syms value directly by way of
the linker rather than consigning it to a bit of memory.
The immediately obvious way is to declare it to be

Fix the extern declaration of kallsyms_num_syms to indicate that the symbol

Fix the extern declaration of kallsyms_num_syms to indicate that the symbol
does not reside in the small-data storage space, and so may not be accessed
relative to the small data base register.
