Kbuild lacks a way to do in-place objcopy or other modifications of
built targets, so in order to move functions into non-text sections
without renaming the kernel module, the build of lkdtm must be split
into separate source files. This renames lkdtm.c to lkdtm_core.c in
preparation for adding the source file for the .rodata section.

This case is supposed to read from a memory after it has been freed,
but we missed freeing base if the memory 'val' could not be allocated.

This improves the order of operations on the use-after-free tests to
try to make sure we've executed any available sanity-checking code,
and to report the poisoning that was found.

The current tests for read/write after free work on slab
allocated memory. Memory straight from the buddy allocator
may behave slightly differently and have a different set
of parameters to test. Add tests for those cases as well.

<title>lkdtm: Update WRITE_AFTER_FREE test</title>

<id>250a8988ef4071d8b7cdbb27388f09f33402293a</id>
<content type='text'>
The SLUB allocator may use the first word of a freed block to store the
freelist information. This may make it harder to test poisoning
features. Change the WRITE_AFTER_FREE test to better match what
the READ_AFTER_FREE test does and also print out a big more information.
