livepatch: Fix crash with !CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
When loading a patch module on a kernel with !CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, the following crash occurs: [ 205.988776] livepatch: enabling patch 'kpatch_meminfo_string' [ 205.989829] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffa08d2fc0 [ 205.989863] IP: [<ffffffff8154fecb>] do_init_module+0x8c/0x1ba [ 205.989888] PGD 1a10067 PUD 1a11063 PMD 7bcde067 PTE 3740e161 [ 205.989915] Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP [ 205.990187] CPU: 2 PID: 14570 Comm: insmod Tainted: G O K 4.1.12 [ 205.990214] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.8.1-20150318_183358- 04/01/2014 [ 205.990249] task: ffff8800374aaa90 ti: ffff8800794b8000 task.ti: ffff8800794b8000 [ 205.990276] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8154fecb>] [<ffffffff8154fecb>] do_init_module+0x8c/0x1ba [ 205.990307] RSP: 0018:ffff8800794bbd58 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 205.990327] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffffffa08d2fc0 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 205.990356] RDX: 01ffff8000000080 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffffff81a54b40 [ 205.990382] RBP: ffff88007b4c4d80 R08: 0000000000000007 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 205.990408] R10: 0000000000000008 R11: ffffea0001f18840 R12: 0000000000000000 [ 205.990433] R13: 0000000000000001 R14: ffffffffa08d2fc0 R15: ffff88007bd0bc40 [ 205.990459] FS: 00007f1128fbc700(0000) GS:ffff88007fc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 205.990488] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 205.990509] CR2: ffffffffa08d2fc0 CR3: 000000002606e000 CR4: 00000000001406e0 [ 205.990536] Stack: [ 205.990545] ffff8800794bbec8 0000000000000001 ffffffffa08d3010 ffffffff810ecea9 [ 205.990576] ffffffff810e8e40 000000000005f360 ffff88007bd0bc50 ffffffffa08d3240 [ 205.990608] ffffffffa08d52c0 ffffffffa08d3210 ffff8800794bbed8 ffff8800794bbf1c [ 205.990639] Call Trace: [ 205.990651] [<ffffffff810ecea9>] ? load_module+0x1e59/0x23a0 [ 205.990672] [<ffffffff810e8e40>] ? store_uevent+0x40/0x40 [ 205.990693] [<ffffffff810e99b5>] ? copy_module_from_fd.isra.49+0xb5/0x140 [ 205.990718] [<ffffffff810ed5bd>] ?

When klp_write_module_reloc() calls set_memory_ro() on the page, it effectively turns the module struct into a read-only structure, resulting in a page fault when load_module() does "mod->state = MODULE_STATE_LIVE".
