[PATCH v5 2/9] riscv/kprobe: Allocate detour buffer from module area

From: Liao Chang <liaochang1@huawei.com>

To address the limitation of PC-relative branch instruction on riscv
architecture, detour buffer slot used for optprobes is allocated from
the region, the distance of which from kernel should be less than 4GB.

For the time being, Modules region always live before the kernel.
But Vmalloc region reside far from kernel, the distance is half of the
kernel address space (See Documentation/riscv/vm-layout.rst), hence it
needs to override the alloc_optinsn_page() to make sure allocate detour
buffer from jump-safe region.
