I think it's because kernel modules and kallsyms are messed up during load and split. Basically we want to make sure the kernel map is loaded and the code has it in the lock_contention_read(). But recently we added more lookups in the lock_contention_prepare() which is called before _read(). Also the kernel map (kallsyms) may not be the first one in the group like on ARM. Let's use machine__kernel_map() rather than just loading the first map.
