[PATCH v3 17/28] arm64: module: Use RCU in all users of __module_text_address().
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Wed Jan 08 2025 - 04:07:57 EST
__module_text_address() can be invoked within a RCU section, there is no
requirement to have preemption disabled.
Replace the preempt_disable() section around __module_text_address()
with RCU.
