For ftrace to be able to trace a patched function, it requires that the
__mcount_loc section contains a pointer to the function, and that the
first instruction of the function is "callq __fentry__".
Normally that work is done by the recordmcount script, but it ignores
functions that aren't in a few standard sections (.text and a few
others).
The kpatch_regenerate_* functions use a local list_head to construct the
new list. While the local list_head is copied to the sec->relas after
it is built, the neighboring nodes in the list are not updated, leading
to list corruption.
This commit uses list_replace() which updates the neighbor nodes properly.
Regression introduced by PR #1175d36dd1.
Fixes#185.
