This is not a bug in the kernel.

You are running the kernel image version 3.2.46-1 while you have modules
from version 3.2.51-1.  This is why the symbol is missing.

Either you have not rebooted after upgrading, or you did not write the
new kernel image to flash.  Perhaps you need to install flash-kernel?
I'm not sure why the kernel package doesn't recommend that.
