Implement a mechanism to check if a module's address is in
the rodata or ro_after_init sections. It mimics the existing functions
that test if an address is inside a module's text section.

Functions that take a module as an argument will be able to verify that the
module address is in a read-only section. The idea is to prevent structures
(including modules) that are not read-only from being passed to functions.

This implements the first half of a suggestion made by Kees Cook for
the Kernel Self Protection Project:

    - provide mechanism to check for ro_after_init memory areas, and
      reject structures not marked ro_after_init in vmbus_register()

Changes in v4:
 - Rename function __module_ro_address() to __module_rodata_address()
 - Move module_rodata_address() stub below is_module_address()
 - Minor comment fixes
 - Verify that mod is not NULL before setting up layout variables
Changes in v3:
 - Change function name is_module_ro_address() to
is_module_rodata_address().
 - Improve comments on is_module_rodata_address().
 - Add a !CONFIG_MODULES stub for is_module_rodata_address.
 - Correct and simplify the check for the read-only memory regions in
the module address.

Thanks! I'll either get these into my kspp tree or ask akpm to carry
these since they depend on the renaming in his tree already.
