[PATCH] Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
store_stackinfo() does an unlocked module list walk during normal runtime which opens up a race with the module load/unload code. This can be triggered by simply unloading and loading a module in a loop with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC resulting in store_stackinfo() tripping over bad list pointers. kernel_text_address doesn't take any locks, because during an OOPS we don't want to deadlock. Rename that to __kernel_text_address, and make kernel_text_address take the lock.
