Currently the kernel patches all necessary instructions once at boot
time, so modules are not covered by this.
Change the apply_alternatives() function to take a beginning and an
end pointer and introduce a new variant (apply_alternatives_all()) to
cover the existing use case for the static kernel image section.
Add a module_finalize() function to arm64 to check for an
alternatives section in a module and patch only the instructions from
that specific area.
Since that module code is not touched before the module
initialization has ended, we don't need to halt the machine before
doing the patching in the module's code.

Function encode_insn_immediate() will be used by other instruction
manipulate related functions, so move it into insn.c and rename it
as aarch64_insn_encode_immediate().

Relocations that require an instruction immediate to be re-encoded must
ensure that the instruction pattern is represented in a little-endian
format for the manipulation code to work correctly.
This patch converts the loaded instruction into native-endianess prior
to encoding and then converts back to little-endian byteorder before
updating memory.

This patch adds support for loadable modules. Loadable modules are
loaded 64MB below the kernel image due to branch relocation restrictions
(see Documentation/arm64/memory.txt).
