It seems at least Clang is able to throw away writes it knows are
destined for read-only memory, which makes things like the WRITE_RO test
fail, as the write gets elided. Instead, force the variable to be
volatile, and make similar changes through-out other tests in an effort
to avoid needing to repeat fixing these kinds of problems. Also includes
pr_err() calls in failure paths so that kernel logs are more clear in
the failure case.

Introduce lkdtm tests for NULL pointer dereference: check access or exec
at NULL address, since these errors tend to be reported differently from
the general fault error text. For example from x86:
pr_alert("BUG: unable to handle kernel %s at %px\n",
address < PAGE_SIZE ? "NULL pointer dereference" : "paging request",
(void *)address);

Today, when doing a lkdtm test before the readiness of the
random generator, (ptrval) is printed instead of the address
at which it perform the fault:
[ 1597.337030] lkdtm: Performing direct entry EXEC_USERSPACE
[ 1597.337142] lkdtm: attempting ok execution at (ptrval)
[ 1597.337398] lkdtm: attempting bad execution at (ptrval)
[ 1597.337460] kernel tried to execute user page (77858000) -exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
[ 1597.344769] Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch
[ 1597.351392] Faulting instruction address: 0x77858000
[ 1597.356312] Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
If the lkdtm test is done later on, it prints an hashed address.
In both cases this is pointless. The purpose of the test is to
ensure the kernel generates an Oops at the expected address,
so real addresses needs to be printed. This patch fixes that.

The LKDTM modules keep expanding, and it's getting weird to have each file
get a prefix. Instead, move to a subdirectory for cleaner handling.
