Subject: [PATCH] module: Extend the preempt disabled section in
dereference_symbol_descriptor().
[ Upstream commit a145c848d69f9c6f32008d8319edaa133360dd74 ]
dereference_symbol_descriptor() needs to obtain the module pointer
belonging to pointer in order to resolve that pointer.
The returned mod pointer is obtained under RCU-sched/ preempt_disable()
guarantees and needs to be used within this section to ensure that the
module is not removed in the meantime.
Extend the preempt_disable() section to also cover
dereference_module_function_descriptor().
Fixes: 04b8eb7a4ccd9 ("symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor()")
