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).
