[ Upstream commit e60b613df8b6253def41215402f72986fee3fc8d ]

KASAN reports a bug:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_location+0x90/0x120
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888141d40010 by task insmod/424

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x71/0x79

The root cause is that, in lookup_rec(), ftrace record of some address
is being searched in ftrace pages of some module, but those ftrace pages
at the same time is being freed in ftrace_release_mod() as the
corresponding module is being deleted:

           CPU1                       |      CPU2
  register_kprobes() {                | delete_module() {
    check_kprobe_address_safe() {     |
      arch_check_ftrace_location() {  |
        ftrace_location() {           |
          lookup_rec() // USE!        |   ftrace_release_mod() // Free!

To fix this issue:
  1. Hold rcu lock as accessing ftrace pages in ftrace_location_range();
  2. Use ftrace_location_range() instead of lookup_rec() in
     ftrace_location();
  3. Call synchronize_rcu() before freeing any ftrace pages both in
     ftrace_process_locs()/ftrace_release_mod()/ftrace_free_mem().
