Subject: [PATCH 5.7 130/166] module: Do not expose section addresses to non-CAP_SYSLOG

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

commit b25a7c5af9051850d4f3d93ca500056ab6ec724b upstream.

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.
