On arm64, modules are allocated from a 128 MB window which is close to
the core kernel, so that relative direct branches are guaranteed to be
in range (except in some KASLR configurations). Also, module_alloc()
is in charge of allocating KASAN shadow memory when running with KASAN
enabled.

This means that the way BPF reuses module_alloc()/module_memfree() is
undesirable on arm64 (and potentially other architectures as well),
and so this series refactors BPF's use of those functions to permit
architectures to change this behavior.

Patch #1 breaks out the module_alloc() and module_memfree() calls into
__weak functions so they can be overridden.

Patch #4 implements the new alloc/free overrides for arm64

Changes since v1:
- Drop misguided attempt to 'fix' and refactor the free path. Instead,
  just add another __weak wrapper for the invocation of module_memfree()
