[ Upstream commit a145c848d69f9c6f32008d8319edaa133360dd74 ]
dereference_symbol_descriptor() needs to obtain the module pointer belonging to pointer in order to resolve that pointer. The returned mod pointer is obtained under RCU-sched/ preempt_disable() guarantees and needs to be used within this section to ensure that the module is not removed in the meantime.
Extend the preempt_disable() section to also cover dereference_module_function_descriptor().
