[PATCH v1 10/10] lkdtm: Fix execute_[user]_location()

execute_location() and execute_user_location() intent
to copy do_nothing() text and execute it at a new location.
However, at the time being it doesn't copy do_nothing() function
but do_nothing() function descriptor which still points to the
original text. So at the end it still executes do_nothing() at
its original location allthough using a copied function descriptor.

So, fix that by really copying do_nothing() text and build a new
function descriptor by copying do_nothing() function descriptor and
updating the target address with the new location.

Also fix the displayed addresses by dereferencing do_nothing()
function descriptor.
