kallsyms_symbol_next() returns a boolean (true on success). Currently kdb_read() tests the return value with an inequality that unconditionally evaluates to true.
This is fixed in the obvious way and, since the conditional branch is supposed to be unreachable, we also add a WARN_ON().

Thanks. Applied to kgdb-next. I'll send it along to the upstream before the end of the v4.0 cycle, we'll see if we pickup any other fixes along the way. :-)
Cheers, Jason.
