Subject: [PATCH] arm64/module: set trampoline section flags regardless of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE

In the arm64 module linker script, the section .text.ftrace_trampoline
is specified unconditionally regardless of whether CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
is enabled (this is simply due to the limitation that module linker
scripts are not preprocessed like the vmlinux one).

Normally, for .plt and .text.ftrace_trampoline, the section flags
present in the module binary wouldn't matter since module_frob_arch_sections()
would assign them manually anyway. However, the arm64 module loader only
sets the section flags for .text.ftrace_trampoline when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y.
That's only become problematic recently due to a recent change in
binutils-2.35, where the .text.ftrace_trampoline section (along with the
.plt section) is now marked writable and executable (WAX).

We no longer allow writable and executable sections to be loaded due to
commit 5c3a7db0c7ec ("module: Harden STRICT_MODULE_RWX"), so this is
causing all modules linked with binutils-2.35 to be rejected under arm64.
Drop the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE) check in module_frob_arch_sections()
so that the section flags for .text.ftrace_trampoline get properly set to
SHF_EXECINSTR|SHF_ALLOC, without SHF_WRITE.
