modules: always page-align module section allocations
Some arches (e.g., arm64, x86) have moved towards non-executable
module_alloc() allocations for security hardening reasons. That means
that the module loader will need to set the text section of a module to
executable, regardless of whether or not CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set.
When CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y, module section allocations are always
page-aligned to handle memory rwx permissions. On some arches with
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n however, when setting the module text to
executable, the BUG_ON() in frob_text() gets triggered since module
section allocations are not page-aligned when CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n.
Since the set_memory_* API works with pages, and since we need to call
set_memory_x() regardless of whether CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set, we
might as well page-align all module section allocations for ease of
managing rwx permissions of module sections (text, rodata, etc).
