Extend print_symbol capability

Today's print_symbol function dumps a kernel symbol with printk.  This
patch extends the functionality of kallsyms.c so that the symbol lookup
function may be used without the printk.  This is useful for modules that
want to dump symbols elsewhere, for example, to debugfs.  I intend to use
the new function call in the GFS2 file system (which will be a separate
patch).
