lkdtm: Really write into kernel text in WRITE_KERN
WRITE_KERN is supposed to overwrite some kernel text, namely do_overwritten() function. But at the time being it overwrites do_overwritten() function descriptor, not function text. Fix it by dereferencing the function descriptor to obtain function text pointer. Export dereference_function_descriptor() for when LKDTM is built as a module. And make do_overwritten() noinline so that it is really do_overwritten() which is called by lkdtm_WRITE_KERN().
