We expect Just first one byte of '\0', but actually first two bytes
are '\0'. Here is The relationship between symtab and strtab.
	symtab_idx	strtab_idx	symbol
	-----------------------------------------------
	0		0x1		"\0" # startab_idx should be 0
	1		0x2		"kmap_atomic"
	2		0xe		"xfer_funcs"
	3		0x19		"find_fr..."
By applying this patch, it becomes as follows.
	symtab_idx	strtab_idx	symbol
	-----------------------------------------------
	0		0x0		"\0"	# extra byte is removed
	1		0x1		"kmap_atomic"
	2		0xd		"xfer_funcs"
	3		0x18		"find_fr..."
