Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/5] pgo: Expose module sections for clang PGO instumentation.

Expose module sections for clang PGO:
In find_module_sections() add code to grab pointer and size
of __llvm_prf_{data,cnts,names,vnds} sections.

This data is used by pgo/instrument.c and pgo/fs.c
in following patches together with explicitly exposed
 vmlinux's core __llvm_prf_xxx sections.

Signed-off-by: Jarmo Tiitto <jarmo.tiitto@...il.com>
---
the reason of disabling profiling for module.c
is that instrumented kernel changes struct module layout,
and thus invalidates profile data collected from module.c
when optimized kernel it built.

More over the profile data from kernel/module.c
is probably not needed either way.
