x86/cfi: Fix FineIBT hash offset in cfi_get_func_hash()
The switch of the FineIBT preamble from "subl $hash, %r10d" to the
shorter "subl $hash, %eax" moved the hash immediate from offset 7 to
offset 5 of the preamble. fineibt_preamble_hash was updated to match,
but the open-coded offset in cfi_get_func_hash() was missed and it
still reads the hash at offset 7.
cfi_get_func_hash() is used by the BPF JIT to give a struct_ops
trampoline the CFI hash of the stub function it stands in for. With
FineIBT the trampoline now gets the upper half of the real hash
followed by the first two bytes of the next instruction, so the first
indirect call from the kernel into a struct_ops program,
tcp_init_congestion_control() calling ->init() of a BPF congestion
control for example, fails the FineIBT check and the kernel dies with
a CFI failure.
Move the FineIBT preamble template and its offset defines above
cfi_get_func_hash() and use fineibt_preamble_hash there, so every
reader of the preamble shares one definition of its layout. The
CFI_FINEIBT arm is only built with CONFIG_FINEIBT, the only
configuration in which cfi_mode can take that value.
cfi_get_func_arity() does not need the same treatment: the __bhi_args
call whose displacement it reads still ends at the function address.
