[v3,22/28] x86: Use RCU in all users of __module_address().

Commit Message

Sebastian Sewior Jan. 8, 2025, 9:04 a.m. UTC

__module_address() can be invoked within a RCU section, there is no
requirement to have preemption disabled.

Replace the preempt_disable() section around __module_address() with
RCU.
