Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] module: verify address is read-only

Implement a mechanism to check if a module's address is in
the rodata or ro_after_init sections. It mimics the exsiting functions
that test if an address is inside a module's text section.

Functions that take a module as an argument will be able to
verify that the module is in a read-only section.

Changes in v3:
 - Change function name is_module_ro_address() to
is_module_rodata_address().
 - Improve comments on is_module_rodata_address().
 - Add a !CONFIG_MODULES stub for is_module_rodata_address.
 - Correct and simplify the check for the read-only memory regions in
the module address.
