x86/kprobes: Fix crash when probing CS CALL instructionsgrafted

When using eBPF to probe CS CALL instructions within a function,
a crash can be triggered.

The eBPF tool probes offset 257 of the __hrtimer_run_queues()
function:

<__hrtimer_run_queues+249>:  nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
<__hrtimer_run_queues+254>:  mov    %r14,%rdi
<__hrtimer_run_queues+257>:  cs call <__x86_indirect_thunk_r12>
<__hrtimer_run_queues+263>:  mov    %eax,%r12d
<__hrtimer_run_queues+266>:  xchg   %ax,%ax
<__hrtimer_run_queues+268>:  mov    %r13,%rdi

Which triggers this crash:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000000f41c9
  #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
  PGD 0 P4D 0
  Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI
  CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Kdump: loaded Tainted: P
  RIP: 0010:__hrtimer_run_queues+0x106/0x230

Note that __hrtimer_run_queues+0x106 is __hrtimer_run_queues+262, which is
at the 6th byte of the above CS CALL instruction. Since the CS CALL
instruction occupies 6 bytes, the exception occurred in the middle of that
call instruction.

The root cause is that when using eBPF tools to probe in the middle of a
function, a kprobe with INT3 is used as the underlying implementation.

During single-step emulation of the original CALL instruction,
int3_emulate_call() assumes that the probed CALL instruction is 5 bytes
long. However, the actual CS-prefixed CALL instruction occupies 6 bytes,
so it constructs an incorrect exception return address. When the CPU
returns from the kprobe handler, the next instruction to be executed is at
the address of the last byte of that CS CALL instruction. Coincidentally,
starting from that address, the CPU fetches and decodes a completely
different instruction, which ultimately triggers a kernel crash.

Fix the issue by using the actual instruction length obtained from
the instruction decoder when constructing the exception return
address, rather than relying on the hardcoded CALL_INSN_SIZE macro.

+ * The kobject release method must not be placed in the module itself,
+ * otherwise we are subject to module unload races.
+ *
+ * The release method is called when the last reference to the kobject is
+ * dropped. It may be called by any other kernel code that drops the last
+ * reference.
+ *
+ * The release method suffers from module unload race. We may prevent the
+ * module from being unloaded at the start of the release method (using
+ * increased module reference count or synchronizing against the release
+ * method), however there is no way to prevent the module from being
+ * unloaded at the end of the release method.
+ *
+ * If this code were placed in the dm module, the following race may
+ * happen:
+ *  1. Some other process takes a reference to dm kobject
+ *  2. The user issues ioctl function to unload the dm device
+ *  3. dm_sysfs_exit calls kobject_put, however the object is not released
+ *     because of the other reference taken at step 1
+ *  4. dm_sysfs_exit waits on the completion
+ *  5. The other process that took the reference in step 1 drops it,
+ *     dm_kobject_release is called from this process
+ *  6. dm_kobject_release calls complete()
+ *  7. a reschedule happens before dm_kobject_release returns
+ *  8. dm_sysfs_exit continues, the dm device is unloaded, module reference
+ *     count is decremented
+ *  9. The user unloads the dm module
+ * 10. The other process that was rescheduled in step 7 continues to run,
+ *     it is now executing code in unloaded module, so it crashes
+ *
+ * Note that if the process that takes the foreign reference to dm kobject
+ * has a low priority and the system is sufficiently loaded with
+ * higher-priority processes that prevent the low-priority process from
+ * being scheduled long enough, this bug may really happen.
+ *
+ * In order to fix this module unload race, we place the release method
+ * into a helper code that is compiled directly into the kernel.
