Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Fix use-after-free issue in ftrace_location()

KASAN reports a bug:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_location+0x90/0x120
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888141d40010 by task insmod/424
  CPU: 8 PID: 424 Comm: insmod Tainted: G        W          6.9.0-rc2+ #213

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x71/0x79

The root cause is that when lookup_rec() is lookuping ftrace record of
an address in some module, and at the same time in ftrace_release_mod(),
the memory that saving ftrace records has been freed as that module is
being deleted.

  register_kprobes() {
    check_kprobe_address_safe() {
      arch_check_ftrace_location() {
        ftrace_location() {
          lookup_rec()  // access memory that has been freed by
                        // ftrace_release_mod() !!!

It seems that the ftrace_lock is required when lookuping records in
ftrace_location(), so is ftrace_location_range().
