lkdtm: Check for SMEP clearing protections
This adds an x86-specific test for pinned cr4 bits. A successful test
will validate pinning and check the ROP-style call-middle-of-function
defense, if needed. For example, in the case of native_write_cr4()
looking like this:
ffffffff8171bce0 <native_write_cr4>:
ffffffff8171bce0: 48 8b 35 79 46 f2 00 mov 0xf24679(%rip),%rsi
ffffffff8171bce7: 48 09 f7 or %rsi,%rdi
ffffffff8171bcea: 0f 22 e7 mov %rdi,%cr4
...
ffffffff8171bd5a: c3 retq
The UNSET_SMEP test will jump to ffffffff8171bcea (the mov to cr4)
instead of ffffffff8171bce0 (native_write_cr4() entry) to simulate a
direct-call bypass attempt.
Expected successful results:
# echo UNSET_SMEP > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
# dmesg

[ 79.596459] lkdtm: trying to clear SMEP normally
[ 79.598406] lkdtm: ok: SMEP did not get cleared

...

[ 79.650937] lkdtm: ok: SMEP removal was reverted
