[Crash-utility] [PATCH] Fix the failure of resolving ".rodata" on s390x
The commit <cd8954023bd4> broke crash-utility on s390x and got the
following error:
crash: cannot resolve ".rodata"
The reason is that all symbols containing a "." may be filtered out
on s390x. To prevent the current failure, a simple way is to check
whether the symbol ".rodata" exists before calculating the value of
a symbol.
Fixes: cd8954023bd4 ("kernel: fix start-up time degradation caused by strings
command")
