Subject: [PATCH] module: Overwrite st_size instead of st_info
st_info is currently overwritten after relocation and used to store the
elf_type(). However, we're going to need it fix kallsyms on ARM's
Thumb-2 kernels, so preserve st_info and overwrite the st_size field
instead. st_size is neither used by the module core nor by any
architecture.
