kallsyms: fix segfault in prefix_underscores_count()
Commit b478b782e110fdb4135caa3062b6d687e989d994 "kallsyms, tracing: output
more proper symbol name" introduces a "bugfix" that introduces a segfault
in kallsyms in my configurations.

The cause is the introduction of prefix_underscores_count() which attempts
to count underscores, even in symbols that do not have them.  As a result,
it just uselessly runs past the end of the buffer until it crashes:

  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms1.S
/bin/sh: line 1: 16934 Done                    sh-linux-gnu-nm -n .tmp_vmlinux1
     16935 Segmentation fault      | scripts/kallsyms > .tmp_kallsyms1.S
make: *** [.tmp_kallsyms1.S] Error 139

This simplifies the logic and just does a straightforward count.
