Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] pgo: Fix allocate_node() v2

When clang instrumentation eventually calls allocate_node()
the struct llvm_prf_data *p argument tells us from what section
we should reserve the vnode: It either points into vmlinux's
core __llvm_prf_data section or some loaded module's
__llvm_prf_data section.

But since we don't have access to corresponding
__llvm_prf_vnds section(s) for any module, the function
should return just NULL and ignore any profiling attempts
from modules for now.

Based on Kees and others feedback here is v3 patch
that clarifies why the current checks in allocate_node()
are flawed. I did fair amount of KGDB time on it.

The commit is based on kees/for-next/clang/features tree,
hopefully this is ok. Should I have based it on linux-next
instead?

I grep -R'd where the memory_contains() can be found and it is only
found in #include <asm-generic/sections.h>

I cross my fingers and await if this is my first accepted patch. :-)
