Since alloc_module() will not set the pages as executable soon, we need
to do so for ftrace trampoline pages after they are allocated.

For the time being, we do not change ftrace to use the text_poke()
interface. As a result, ftrace breaks still breaks W^X.

Perhaps we should set the page to non writable after the page is
updated? And set it to writable only when we need to update it.

As for this patch:

You remember that I sent you a patch that changed all these writes into
text_poke() and you said that I should defer it until this series is merged?

And I notice that it is set to RO after this call anyway.
