[PATCH v6 02/13] riscv/kprobe: Allocate detour buffer from module region

From: Liao Chang <liaochang1 at huawei.com>

To address the limitation of PC-relative branch instruction on riscv
architecture, detour buffer slot used for optprobes has to be allocated
at virtual address that can access from kernel and modules text via
AUIPC/JALR.

For the time being, the vmalloc region is far from kernel/modules text,
the distance between them is half of kernel address space [1], which
can't transfer control to 32-bit pc-relative address, hence it needs to
override the alloc_optinsn_page() to allocate detour buffer from module
region.
