There are three head files(kallsyms.h, kernel.h and sections.h) which
include the kernel sections range check, let's make some cleanup and
unify them.

1. cleanup arch specific text/data check and fix address boundary check
   in kallsyms.h
2. make all the basic/core kernel range check function into sections.h
3. update all the callers, and use the helper in sections.h to simplify
   the code

After this series, we have 5 APIs about kernel sections range check in
sections.h

 * is_kernel_rodata()		--- already in sections.h
 * is_kernel_core_data()	--- come from core_kernel_data() in kernel.h
 * is_kernel_inittext()		--- come from kernel.h and kallsyms.h
 * __is_kernel_text()		--- add new internal helper
 * __is_kernel()		--- add new internal helper

Note: For the last two helpers, people should not use directly, consider to
      use corresponding function in kallsyms.h.

v3:
- Add Steven's RB to patch2
- Introduce two internal helper, then use is_kernel_text() in core_kernel_text()
  and is_kernel() in kernel_or_module_addr() suggested by Steven

v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arch/20210728081320.20394-1-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com/
- add ACK/RW to patch2, and drop inappropriate fix tag
- keep 'core' to check kernel data, suggestted by Steven Rostedt
  <rostedt@goodmis.org>, rename is_kernel_data() to is_kernel_core_data()
- drop patch8 which is merged
- drop patch9 which is resend independently

v1:
