Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC to allow architectures
to request having modules data in vmalloc area instead of module area.
This is required on powerpc book3s/32 in order to set data non
executable, because it is not possible to set executability on page
basis, this is done per 256 Mbytes segments. The module area has exec
right, vmalloc area has noexec.
This can also be useful on other powerpc/32 in order to maximize the
chance of code being close enough to kernel core to avoid branch
trampolines.

In order to allow separation of data from text, add another layout,
called data_layout. For architectures requesting separation of text
and data, only text will go in core_layout and data will go in
data_layout.
For architectures which keep text and data together, make data_layout
an alias of core_layout, that way data_layout can be used for all
data manipulations, regardless of whether data is in core_layout or
data_layout.

Perform layout alignment verification up front and WARN_ON()

Move module_enable_x() together with module_enable_nx() and
module_enable_ro().
Those three functions are going together, they are all used
to set up the correct page flags on the different sections.
As module_enable_x() is used independently of
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX, build strict_rwx.c all the time and
use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX) when relevant.

No functional change.
This patch migrates code that makes module text
and rodata memory read-only and non-text memory
non-executable from core module code into
kernel/module/strict_rwx.c.
