x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address

Randomize the load address of modules in the kernel to make kASLR
effective for modules.  Modules can only be loaded within a particular
range of virtual address space.  This patch adds 10 bits of entropy to
the load address by adding 1-1024 * PAGE_SIZE to the beginning range
where modules are loaded.

The single base offset was chosen because randomizing each module
load ends up wasting/fragmenting memory too much. Prior approaches to
minimizing fragmentation while doing randomization tend to result in
worse entropy than just doing a single base address offset.

Example kASLR boot without this change, with a single module loaded:
---[ Modules ]---
0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0001000           4K     ro     GLB x  pte
0xffffffffc0001000-0xffffffffc0002000           4K     ro     GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc0002000-0xffffffffc0004000           8K     RW     GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc0004000-0xffffffffc0200000        2032K                   pte
0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffff000000        1006M                   pmd
---[ End Modules ]---

Example kASLR boot after this change, same module loaded:
---[ Modules ]---
0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0200000           2M                   pmd
0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffc03bf000        1788K                   pte
0xffffffffc03bf000-0xffffffffc03c0000           4K     ro     GLB x  pte
0xffffffffc03c0000-0xffffffffc03c1000           4K     ro     GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc03c1000-0xffffffffc03c3000           8K     RW     GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc03c3000-0xffffffffc0400000         244K                   pte
0xffffffffc0400000-0xffffffffff000000        1004M                   pmd
---[ End Modules ]---
