execute_location() and execute_user_location() intent to copy do_nothing() text and execute it at a new location. However, at the time being it doesn't copy do_nothing() function but do_nothing() function descriptor which still points to the original text. So at the end it still executes do_nothing() at its original location allthough using a copied function descriptor. So, fix that by really copying do_nothing() text and build a new function descriptor by copying do_nothing() function descriptor and updating the target address with the new location. Also fix the displayed addresses by dereferencing do_nothing() function descriptor.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
