Patch series "Add GDB memory helper commands", v2.

I've created some GDB commands I think useful when I debug some memory
issues and kernel module issue.

For memory issue, we would like to get slabinfo, slabtrace, page_owner and
vmallocinfo to debug the memory issues.

For module issue, we would like to query kernel module name when we get a
module text address and load module symbol by specific path.

Patch 1-2:
 - Add kernel module related command.
Patch 3-5:
 - Prepares for the memory-related command.
Patch 6-8:
 - Add memory-related commands.

This patch (of 8):

Add lx-symbols <ko_path> command to support add specific
ko module.

Example output like below:
(gdb) lx-symbols mm/kasan/kasan_test.ko
loading @0xffff800002d30000: mm/kasan/kasan_test.ko
