[RFC 2/4] livepatch: adjust a patched function's address

The existing livepatch code assumes that a fentry call is inserted before
a function prolog by -mfentry option of gcc. But the location of mcount()
can be identified by using ftrace_lookup_mcount(), and which eventually
allows arch's which don't support -mfentry option, like arm64, to support
livepatch.
This patch modifies core and x86 code before adding livepatch support for
arm64.
