Subject: Fix for failing to load kernel module
Git-repo: https://github.com/crash-utility/crash.git

Patch-mainline: 8.0.6
References: bsc#1228388

In some kernel modules such as libie.ko, the mem[MOD_TEXT].size
may be zero, currently crash will only check its value to determine
if the module is valid, otherwise it fails to load kernel module with
the following warning and error:

Lets count the module size to check if the module is valid, that will
avoid the current failure.
