Subject: [PATCH] riscv/kprobes: allocate detour buffer from module area

To address the limitation of PC-relative branch instruction
on riscv architecture, detour buffer slot is allocated from
a area, the distance of which from kernel should be less than 4GB.

For the time being, Modules region always live before the kernel.
But Vmalloc region reside far away from kernel, the distance is
half of the kernel address space.
