[PATCH] livepatch: Move the result-invariant calculation out of the loop

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Thu Sep 29 2022 - 21:59:45 EST


The calculation results of the variables 'func_addr' and 'func_size' are
not affected by the for loop and do not change due to the changes of
entries[i]. The performance can be improved by moving it outside the loop.

No functional change.
