[PATCH v4 10/17] lkdtm: use function_nocfi

To ensure we take the actual address of a function in kernel text,
use function_nocfi. Otherwise, with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler
replaces the address with a pointer to the CFI jump table, which is
actually in the module when compiled with CONFIG_LKDTM=m.
