The printing of section addresses in /sys/module/*/sections/* was not
using the correct credentials to evaluate visibility.
Before:
# cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text
0xffffffffc0458000
...
# capsh --drop=CAP_SYSLOG -- -c "cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text"
0xffffffffc0458000
...
After:
# cat /sys/module/*/sections/*.text
0xffffffffc0458000
...
# capsh --drop=CAP_SYSLOG -- -c "cat /sys/module/*/sections/.*text"
0x0000000000000000
...
Additionally replaces the existing (safe) /proc/modules check with
file->f_cred for consistency.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
