If a function name is greater than 63 char long, xmon command
may not find them. For example, here is a test that
executed an illegal instruction in a kernel function and one of
call stack function has name >63 char long,

unknown symbol 'check__allowed__function__name__for__symbol__r2_resolution_symb'

This is because, in the scanhex(), tmpstr loop index is checked only for a upper bound
of 63. Proposed fix is to replace the upper bound value with "KSYM_NAME_LEN"
