[PATCH 14/14] ARM: set --be8 when linking modules

To avoid having to make every text section swap the instruction order
of all instructions, make sure modules are built also built with --be8
(as is the current kernel final link).

If we do not do this, we would end up having to swap all instructions
when loading a module, instead of just the instructions that we are
applying ELF relocations to.
