Petr Mladek 19514910d0 livepatch: Change unsigned long old_addr -> void *old_func in struct klp_func
The address of the to be patched function and new function is stored
in struct klp_func as:

	void *new_func;
	unsigned long old_addr;

The different naming scheme and type are derived from the way
the addresses are set. @old_addr is assigned at runtime using
kallsyms-based search. @new_func is statically initialized,
for example:

  static struct klp_func funcs[] = {
	{
		.old_name = "cmdline_proc_show",
		.new_func = livepatch_cmdline_proc_show,
	}, { }
  };

This patch changes unsigned long old_addr -> void *old_func. It removes
some confusion when these address are later used in the code. It is
motivated by a followup patch that adds special NOP struct klp_func
where we want to assign func->new_func = func->old_addr respectively
func->new_func = func->old_func.

This patch does not modify the existing behavior.

* struct klp_ops - structure for tracking registered ftrace ops structs

* struct's func_stack list. The winner is the klp_func at the top of the
* func_stack (front of the list).
*
* @node: node for the global klp_ops list
* @func_stack: list head for the stack of klp_func's (active func is on top)
