Series ARM/arm64: Fix loading of modules with an exit section | expand

Today module_frob_arch_sections() spots init sections from their
'init' prefix, and uses this to keep the init PLTs separate from the rest.

get_module_plt() uses within_module_init() to determine if a
location is in the init text or not, but this depends on whether
core code thought this was an init section.

Naturally the logic is different.

module_init_layout_section() groups the init and exit text together if
module unloading is disabled, as the exit code will never run. The result
is kernels with this configuration can't load all their modules because
there are not enough PLTs for the combined init+exit section.

A previous patch exposed module_init_layout_section(), use that so the
logic is the same.

Fixes: 055f23b74b20 ("module: check for exit sections in layout_sections() instead of module_init_section()")

I've not managed to get 32bit to call get_module_plt(), but it looks
possible to hit the BUG_ON() because of this.
