[Bug 264094] VNET and DPCPU defined in modules panic on use on arm64 after LLVM 14 import due to new linker relaxation

Oh, right.  So kmod_syms.awk is defeating the hack in VNET_DEFINE_STATIC.  That
can be bandaged easily enough.

I tried implementing your suggestion of adding an explicit offset with each
VNET definition.  It's a bit painful due to consumers doing things like:

VNET_DEFINE(LIST_HEAD(, foo), n) = LIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER();

I don't think it's possible to implement VNET_DEFINE this way without either
outlawing static initializers (or making them an argument to the macro itself
instead of using assignment), or outlawing anonymous types, i.e., the above
would have to be:

LIST_HEAD(foo_list, foo);
VNET_DEFINE(struct foo_list, n) = LIST_HEAD_INITIALIZER();

I would go with the second option, but it does require a bunch of consumers to
be patched.

I haven't yet compared the generated code with what we had before.
