Subject: Don't report discarded init pages as kernel text.
Current code could cause a bug in symbol_put_addr() if an arch used
kmalloc module text: we might think the symbol belongs to the core
kernel.
The downside is that this might make backtraces through (discarded)

The better answer was to invert it and use "discarded_kernel_text_address()",

You still refer to the old name here :)

This patch creates non_init_kernel_text_address() to identify
non_init text area.
