The compiler toolchains generate local and mapping symbols on certain

Nit: "local" -> "local label".
OK, will update the patch subject and commit message in v4.
While the symbols are already filtered out during runtime lookups via
find_kallsyms_symbol(), they still leak into /proc/kallsyms for loaded
modules because layout_symtab() and add_kallsyms() do not filter them
during load time.
Consequently, tracing tools like bpftrace (which do not perform internal
filtering, unlike perf) resolve identical addresses into confusing local
labels instead of actual clear C function names.
Fix this by integrating the is_local_mapping_symbol() check directly into
the newly introduced is_kept_symbol() helper. This ensures these unneeded
symbols are stripped during module load time, keeping /proc/kallsyms clean
and resulting in accurate call stacks.
