Commit 6eb4bd92 ("kallsyms: strip LTO suffixes from static functions")
stripped all function/variable suffixes started with '.' regardless
of whether those suffixes are generated at LTO mode or not. In fact,
as far as I know, in LTO mode, when a static function/variable is
promoted to the global scope, '.llvm.<...>' suffix is added.

The existing mechanism breaks live patch for a LTO kernel even if
no <symbol>.llvm.<...> symbols are involved. For example, for the following
kernel symbols:
  $ grep bpf_verifier_vlog /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffff81549f60 t bpf_verifier_vlog
  ffffffff8268b430 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry
  ffffffff8282a958 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry_ptr
  ffffffff82e12a1f d bpf_verifier_vlog.__already_done
'bpf_verifier_vlog' is a static function. '_entry', '_entry_ptr' and
'__already_done' are static variables used inside 'bpf_verifier_vlog',
so llvm promotes them to file-level static with prefix 'bpf_verifier_vlog.'.
Note that the func-level to file-level static function promotion also
happens without LTO.

Given a symbol name 'bpf_verifier_vlog', with LTO kernel, current mechanism will
return 4 symbols to live patch subsystem which current live patching
subsystem cannot handle it. With non-LTO kernel, only one symbol
is returned.

In [1], we have a lengthy discussion, the suggestion is to separate two
cases:
  (1). new symbols with suffix which are generated regardless of whether
       LTO is enabled or not, and
  (2). new symbols with suffix generated only when LTO is enabled.

The cleanup_symbol_name() should only remove suffixes for case (2).
Case (1) should not be changed so it can work uniformly with or without LTO.

This patch removed LTO-only suffix '.llvm.<...>' so live patching and
tracing should work the same way for non-LTO kernel.
The cleanup_symbol_name() in scripts/kallsyms.c is also changed to have the same
filtering pattern so both kernel and kallsyms tool have the same
expectation on the order of symbols.
