module: treat exit sections the same as init sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD (2021-03-29 13:08:53 +0200)

Modules updates for v5.13

Summary of modules changes for the 5.13 merge window:

- Fix an age old bug involving jump_calls and static_labels when
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n. When CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, it means you
can't unload modules, so normally the __exit sections of a module are
not loaded at all. However, dynamic code patching (jump_label,
static_call, alternatives) can have sites in __exit sections even if
__exit is never executed.

Reported by Peter Zijlstra: "Alternatives, jump_labels and static_call
all can have relocations into __exit code. Not loading it at all would
be BAD." Therefore, load the __exit sections even when
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, and discard them after init.
