Add /sys/module/*/import_ns to expose imported namespaces for
currently loaded modules. The file contains one namespace per line and
only exists for modules that import at least one namespace.
Previously, the only way for userspace to inspect the symbol
namespaces a module imports is to locate the .ko on disk and invoke
modinfo(8) to decompress/parse the metadata. The kernel validated
namespaces at load time, but it was otherwise discarded.
Exposing this data via sysfs provides a runtime mechanism to verify
which namespaces are being used by modules. For example, this allows
userspace to audit driver API access in Android GKI, which uses symbol
namespaces to restrict vendor drivers from using specific kernel
interfaces (e.g., direct filesystem access).
