[ Upstream commit 139560e8b973402140cafeb68c656c1374bd4c20 ]
When there is only one function of the same name, old_sympos of 0 and 1 are logically identical. Match them in klp_find_func().
This is to avoid a corner case with different toolchain behavior.
In this specific issue, two versions of kpatch-build were used to build livepatch for the same kernel. One assigns old_sympos == 0 for unique local functions, the other assigns old_sympos == 1 for unique local functions. Both versions work fine by themselves. (PS: This behavior change was introduced in a downstream version of kpatch-build. This change does not exist in upstream kpatch-build.)
However, during livepatch upgrade (with the replace flag set) from a patch built with one version of kpatch-build to the same fix built with the other version of kpatch-build, livepatching fails with errors like:
[ 14.218706] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename 'xxx/somefunc,1' ...

This happens because klp_find_func() thinks somefunc with old_sympos==0 is not the same as somefunc with old_sympos==1, and klp_add_object_nops adds another xxx/func,1 to the list of functions to patch.
