Subject: [BUG] commit 444d13ff10f introduced boot failure on s390x

Hi,

I hit boot failure on s390x host starting from 4.8-rc1 kernel, 4.7
kernel works fine. And I bisected to this commit 444d13ff10fb

    commit 444d13ff10fb13bc3e64859c3cf9ce43dcfeb075

        modules: add ro_after_init support
    
        Add ro_after_init support for modules by adding a new page-aligned section
        in the module layout (after rodata) for ro_after_init data and enabling RO
        protection for that section after module init runs.

and I've only hit this panic on s390x hosts. Console log is appended at
the end of email.

Thanks,
Eryu
