To ensure we take the actual address of a function in kernel text, use
__va_function. Otherwise, with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler replaces
the address with a pointer to the CFI jump table, which is actually in
the module when compiled with CONFIG_LKDTM=m.
Should patch 10 and 12 be reordered against one another? Otherwise it
looks like 12 defines __va_function while 10 uses it?
