Subject: [PATCH v2 11/13] lkdtm: Fix lkdtm_EXEC_RODATA()

Behind its location, lkdtm_EXEC_RODATA() executes
lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing() which is a real function,
not a copy of do_nothing().

So executes it directly instead of using execute_location().

This is necessary because following patch will fix execute_location()
to use a copy of the function descriptor of do_nothing() and
function descriptor of lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing() might be different.

And fix displayed addresses by dereferencing the function descriptors.
