Subject: [PATCH] Add kernel version dependent check for getting length of
 log_end

For kernels(>=2.4.9.11 [1] && <3.5 [2]), log_end was involved in the kernel sources.
For kernels(>=2.6.25 [3]), log_end was defined as:
    static unsigned log_end;
For kernels(<2.6.25), log_end was defined as:
    static unsigned long log_end;

Previously, the length of log_end is determined by get_symbol_length, but it can
be a regression when the returned length is 0 for some cases and value unchecked:

crash> help -t
    ...
    help: invalid size request: 0  type: "log_end"

To solve the above issue, let's add a kernel version dependent check to get its
value appropriately when the length of the 'log_end' returns a value of zero.
