Rebased to kernel-4.18.0-304.el8.
Note: since RHEL-8.4 dropped klp.arch support, we can now re-enable
those tests that reference static keys defined in vmlinux.
Also, adjust for adjust for ppc64le inlining:
Building gcc-static-local-var-4.patch on ppc64le results in test
failure, as the kpatch .ko now contains a 'free_ioctx' symbol (the test
expects to NOT see one).
From the build log:
aio.o: changed function: free_ioctx
aio.o: new function: put_aio_ring_file << now un-inlined?
aio.o: changed function: aio_free_ring
aio.o: changed function: ioctx_alloc
aio.o: changed function: aio_prep_rw
aio.o: changed function: aio_read_events
aio.o: new function: kpatch_aio_foo << expected new function
and a source code change to free_ioctx():

Marking put_aio_ring_file() as __always_inline keeps the r3 / 224
offset value, leaving free_ioctx() unchanged. Since it's no longer
included in the resulting .ko, gcc-static-local-var-4.test will pass
once again.
