Extend execmem parameters to accommodate more complex overrides of
module_alloc() by architectures.
This includes specification of a fallback range required by arm, arm64
and powerpc, EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA type required by powerpc, support for
allocation of KASAN shadow required by s390 and x86 and support for
late initialization of execmem required by arm64.
The core implementation of execmem_alloc() takes care of suppressing
warnings when the initial allocation fails but there is a fallback range
defined.

Several architectures override module_alloc() only to define address
range for code allocations different than VMALLOC address space.
Provide a generic implementation in execmem that uses the parameters for
address space ranges, required alignment and page protections provided
by architectures.
The architectures must fill execmem_info structure and implement
execmem_arch_setup() that returns a pointer to that structure. This way the
execmem initialization won't be called from every architecture, but rather
from a central place, namely a core_initcall() in execmem.
The execmem provides execmem_alloc() API that wraps __vmalloc_node_range()
with the parameters defined by the architectures. If an architecture does
not implement execmem_arch_setup(), execmem_alloc() will fall back to
module_alloc().

module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code.
Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems
that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and
puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code.
Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various
constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes
additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation.
Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc()
and execmem_free() APIs.
Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and
execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all
call sites to use the new APIs.
Since architectures define different restrictions on placement,
permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by
different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes
a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to
allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that
subsystem.
No functional changes.
