Subject: [PATCH 14/28] module: Use RCU in all users of __module_address().
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2025 10:04:43 +0100

__module_address() can be invoked within a RCU section, there is no
requirement to have preemption disabled.

Replace the preempt_disable() section around __module_address() with
RCU.
