Oh, is FineIBT different from kCFI? I thought those are same. But anyway
for kCFI=y && FineIBT=n case, I think this code still needed.

Yeah, register_kprobe() is not a fast path in most cases. So I think
this is OK at this point. We can speed it up by sorting the array by
address and binary search later.

I wonder the distance can be used outside of x86. CFI implementation
depends on the arch?
