Documentation: add hint about call traces & module symbols to BUG-HUNTING

Here's a couple of small additions to BUG-HUNTING.

1. point out that you can list code in gdb with only one command
	(gdb) l *(<symbol> + offset)

2. give a very brief hint how to decode module symbols in call traces

If you have a call trace, such as :-

this shows the problem in the :jbd: module. You can load that module in gdb
and list the relevant code.
gdb fs/jbd/jbd.ko
(gdb) p log_wait_commit
(gdb) l *(0x<address> + 0xa3)
or
(gdb) l *(log_wait_commit + 0xa3)
