x86, mm: RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules

This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by splitting
module_core and module_init into three logical parts each and setting
appropriate page access permissions for each individual section:

 1. Code: RO+X
 2. RO data: RO+NX
 3. RW data: RW+NX

In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have been
modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above onto page
boundary. Next, the corresponding page access permissions are set
right before successful exit from load_module(). Further, free_module()
and sys_init_module have been modified to set module_core and
module_init as RW+NX right before calling module_free().

By default, the original section layout and access flags are preserved.
When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y, the patch
will page-align each group of sections to ensure that each page contains
only one type of content and will enforce RO/NX for each group of pages.

V1: Initial proof-of-concept patch.
V2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs and
to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting have been corrected also.
V3: Opportunistic RO/NX protectiuon is now unconditional. Section
page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y.
V4: Removed most macros and improved coding style.
V5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation
V6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only
V7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added calls to
set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro() in ftrace
V8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5
V9: coding style fixes
V10: more coding style fixes
V11: minor adjutments for -tip
V12: minor adjutments for v2.6.35-rc2-tip
