Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 9fdcd0038b 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().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
