Freeing unused kernel memory: 1024K (c0d00000 - c0e00000)
The stop_machine() is called with cpus = NULL from fix_kernmem_perms() and
mark_rodata_ro() which means only one CPU will execute
update_sections_early() while all other CPUs will spin and wait. Hence,
it's safe to remove tasklist locking from update_sections_early(). As part
of this change also mark functions which are local to this module as
static

As I've checked it also can be applied to LKML as is.
