When CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V1=y, it seems that the try of lookupinp
the original non-dot symbol is missing.
What about this (Only the compilation test is performed):
```c
static inline unsigned long __ppc_kallsyms_lookup_name(const char *name)
{
unsigned long addr = kallsyms_lookup_name(name);
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V2) && addr)
addr = ppc_function_entry((void *)addr);
return addr;
}
#define ppc_kallsyms_lookup_name(x) ({ \
unsigned long addr = 0; \
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V1)) \
addr = __ppc_kallsyms_lookup_name("." x); \
if (!addr) \
addr = __ppc_kallsyms_lookup_name(x); \
addr; \
})
```
