WRITE_KERN is supposed to overwrite some kernel text, namely do_overwritten() function. But at the time being it overwrites do_overwritten() function descriptor, not function text. Fix it by dereferencing the function descriptor to obtain function text pointer. Export dereference_function_descriptor() for when LKDTM is built as a module. And make do_overwritten() noinline so that it is really do_overwritten() which is called by lkdtm_WRITE_KERN().

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.
