[PATCH v1 08/10] lkdtm: Really write into kernel text in WRITE_KERN

[Christophe Leroy]

WRITE_KERN is supposed to overwrite some kernel text, namely
do_overwritten() function.

But at the time being it overwrites do_overwritten() function
descriptor, not function text.

Fix it by dereferencing the function descriptor to obtain
function text pointer.

And make do_overwritten() noinline so that it is really
do_overwritten() which is called by lkdtm_WRITE_KERN().
