dereference_symbol_descriptor() needs to obtain the module pointer
belonging to pointer in order to resolve that pointer.
The returned mod pointer is obtained under RCU-sched/ preempt_disable()
guarantees and needs to be used within this section to ensure that the
module is not removed in the meantime.

Extend the preempt_disable() section to also cover
dereference_module_function_descriptor().
