As I understand the GPL, they would need to provide source code to people they distribute binaries to...

So in practice, they are probably complying with the GPL.

So, If the USA spy infected my computer with malicious Linux kernel module which use GPL protected kernel APIs, Can I demand the source code?

You'd probably need to prove they provided the infection.
