Pull modules updates from  Luis Chamberlain:

 - It was time to tidy up kernel/module.c and one way of starting with
   that effort was to split it up into files. At my request Aaron Tomlin
   spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any functional
   at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split is +1322
   bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while bss is
   unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping make the
   code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review for
   changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now pegged
   as maintained by the live patching folks.

   The before and after with just the move on a defconfig on x86-64:

     $ size kernel/module.o
        text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       38434    4540     104   43078    a846 kernel/module.o

     $ size -t kernel/module/*.o
        text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       4785     120       0    4905    1329 kernel/module/kallsyms.o

 - Aaron added module unload taint tracking (MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING),
   to enable tracking unloaded modules which did taint the kernel.

 - Christophe Leroy added CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
   which lets architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc
   area instead of module area. There are three reasons why an
   architecture might want this:

    a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to
       protect against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be
       mapped by different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M
       segments). By default the module area is in an Exec segment while
       vmalloc area is in a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck
       with module data as NoExec on those architectures whereas before
       you could not.

    b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the
       probability of module text to remain within a closer distance
       from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been
       reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead.

    c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this
       exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some security
       enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting module
       data with text let's future generic special allocators be added
       to the kernel without having developers try to grok the tribal
       knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's permission vmalloc
       interface [0] becomes easier to address over time.
