Subject: [PATCH 8/9] riscv: module: Create module allocations without exec
 permissions

From: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@...nel.org>

The core code manages the executable permissions of code regions of
modules explicitly, it is not necessary to create the module vmalloc
regions with RWX permissions. Create them with RW- permissions instead.
