Removing the "core" part of "core_kernel_data()" is misleading. As
modules can have kernel data, but this will return false on module data
(as it should). This is similar to core_kernel_text() which this series
doesn't seem to touch.

I'd like to keep the "core" in the name which makes it obvious this is
not about module data, and if someone were to make it about module
data, it will break ftrace synchronization.
