[PATCH v1] LoongArch: Remove unnecessary checks in bt_address()

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Tue Dec 09 2025 - 01:18:44 EST


According to the following function definitions, __kernel_text_address()
already checks __module_text_address(), so it should remove the check of
__module_text_address() in bt_address() at least.

int __kernel_text_address(unsigned long addr)
{
if (kernel_text_address(addr))
return 1;
...
return 0;
}

int kernel_text_address(unsigned long addr)
{
bool no_rcu;
int ret = 1;
...
if (is_module_text_address(addr))
goto out;
...
return ret;
}

bool is_module_text_address(unsigned long addr)
{
guard(rcu)();
return __module_text_address(addr) != NULL;
}

Furthermore, since it returns ra at the end of bt_address() and check it
with __kernel_text_address() after calling bt_address(), so it can remove
the check of __kernel_text_address() in bt_address() too.

Just remove unnecessary checks, no functional changes intended.
