lkdtm: Avoid more compiler optimizations for bad writes
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.
