[PATCH] x86, kaslr: propagate base load address calculation

[Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>]

Commit e2b32e678 ("x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address") makes 
the base address for module to be unconditionally randomized in case when 
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is defined and "nokaslr" option isn't present on the 
commandline.

This is not consistent with how choose_kernel_location() decides whether 
it will randomize kernel load base.

Namely, CONFIG_HIBERNATION disables kASLR (unless "kaslr" option is 
explicitly specified on kernel commandline), which makes the state space 
larger than what module loader is looking at. IOW CONFIG_HIBERNATION && 
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is a valid config option, kASLR wouldn't be applied 
by default in that case, but module loader is not aware of that.

Instead of fixing the logic in module.c, this patch takes more generic 
aproach, and exposes __KERNEL_OFFSET macro, which calculates the real 
offset that has been established by choose_kernel_location() during boot. 
This can be used later by other kernel code as well (such as, but not 
limited to, live patching).

OOPS offset dumper and module loader are converted to that they make use 
of this macro as well.
