module: weaken locking assertion for oops path.
We don't actually hold the module_mutex when calling find_module_all
from module_kallsyms_lookup_name: that's because it's used by the oops
code and we don't want to deadlock.
However, access to the list read-only is safe if preempt is disabled,
so we can weaken the assertion. Keep a strong version for external
callers though.
