module: replace module_layout with module_memory
module_layout manages different types of memory (text, data, rodata, etc.) in one allocation, which is problematic for some reasons: 1. It is hard to enable CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX. 2. It is hard to use huge pages in modules (and not break strict rwx). 3. Many archs uses module_layout for arch-specific data, but it is not obvious how these data are used (are they RO, RX, or RW?) Improve the scenario by replacing 2 (or 3) module_layout per module with up to 7 module_memory per module: MOD_TEXT, MOD_DATA, MOD_RODATA, MOD_RO_AFTER_INIT, MOD_INIT_TEXT, MOD_INIT_DATA, MOD_INIT_RODATA, and allocating them separately. This adds slightly more entries to mod_tree (from up to 3 entries per module, to up to 7 entries per module). However, this at most adds a small constant overhead to __module_address(), which is expected to be fast. Various archs use module_layout for different data. These data are put into different module_memory based on their location in module_layout. IOW, data that used to go with text is allocated with MOD_MEM_TYPE_TEXT; data that used to go with data is allocated with MOD_MEM_TYPE_DATA, etc. module_memory simplifies quite some of the module code. For example, ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC is a lot cleaner, as it just uses a different allocator for the data. kernel/module/strict_rwx.c is also much cleaner with module_memory.
