Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: BPF: Disable trampoline for kernel module function trace

The current LoongArch BPF trampoline implementation is incompatible
with tracing functions in kernel modules. This causes several severe
and user-visible problems:

* The `bpf_selftests/module_attach` test fails consistently.
* Kernel lockup when a BPF program is attached to a module function [1].
* Critical kernel modules like WireGuard experience traffic disruption
when their functions are traced with fentry [2].

Given the severity and the potential for other unknown side-effects, it
is safest to disable the feature entirely for now. This patch prevents
the BPF subsystem from allowing trampoline attachments to kernel module
functions on LoongArch.

This is a temporary mitigation until the core issues in the trampoline
code for kernel module handling can be identified and fixed.
