Linus, please apply.  Nobody uses symbol_put_addr yet, but it's
significantly neater to use module_text_addr which does the same "is
this in a module" search.

Name: module_text_address returns the module
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Trivial

D: By making module_text_address return the module it found, we
D: simplify symbol_put_addr significantly.
