To avoid confusion, I would like to revert the set_data_loc() at the 3rd patch
and add it again in 4th patch.

and introduce it. I also want to put the ternary operator into set_data_loc() too
for simplicity.

static nokprobe_inline void set_data_loc(int ret, void *dest, void *__dest, void *base)
{
	if (ret < 0)
		ret = 0;
	*(u32 *)dest = make_data_loc(ret, __dest - base);
}
