Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] modules: Rename debug_align() as section_align()

debug_align() was added by commit 84e1c6bb38eb ("x86: Add RO/NX
protection for loadable kernel modules")

At that time the config item was CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX.

But nowadays it has changed to CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX and
debug_align() is confusing because it has nothing to do with
DEBUG.

Rename it section_align()

While at it, use PAGE_ALIGN(x) instead of ALIGN(x, PAGE_SIZE).
