With CFI+CALL_PADDING, Clang places .Ltmp labels at the start of the NOP
padding (offset 5) between the __cfi_ prefix and the function entry
point. get_func_prefix() only checks the immediately previous symbol,
so the intervening .Ltmp label causes it to miss the __cfi_ prefix
symbol.
This results in klp-diff not cloning the kCFI type hash into the
livepatch module, causing a CFI failure at module load when calling
callback functions through indirect calls:
CFI failure at __klp_enable_patch+0xab/0x140
(target: pre_patch_callback+0x0/0x80 [livepatch_combined];
expected type: 0xde073954)
Instead of walking backward through the section's symbol list, just use
find_func_containing() for the byte before the function. This works now
that __cfi_ symbols are being grown by objtool to fill the padding.
