kallsyms: store type information in its own array 

When a module is loaded, its symbols' Elf_Sym information is stored
in a symtab.  Further, type information is also captured.  Since
Elf_Sym has no type field, historically the st_info field has been
hijacked for storing type:  st_info was overwritten.

commit 5439c985c5 ("module: Overwrite
st_size instead of st_info") changes that practice, as its one-liner
indicates.  Unfortunately, this change overwrites symbol size,
information that a tool like DTrace expects to find.

Allocate a typetab array to store type information so that no Elf_Sym
field needs to be overwritten.

Fixes: 5439c985c5 ("module: Overwrite st_size instead of st_info")
