[PATCH v4 13/13] lkdtm: Add a test for function descriptors protection

Add WRITE_OPD to check that you can't modify function
descriptors.

Gives the following result when function descriptors are
not protected:

	lkdtm: Performing direct entry WRITE_OPD
	lkdtm: attempting bad 16 bytes write at c00000000269b358
	lkdtm: FAIL: survived bad write
	lkdtm: do_nothing was hijacked!

Looks like a standard compiler barrier() is not enough to force
GCC to use the modified function descriptor. Had to add a fake empty
inline assembly to force GCC to reload the function descriptor.
