mm/execmem, arch: convert simple overrides of module_alloc to execmem

Several architectures override module_alloc() only to define address
range for code allocations different than VMALLOC address space.

Provide a generic implementation in execmem that uses the parameters for
address space ranges, required alignment and page protections provided
by architectures.

The architectures must fill execmem_info structure and implement
execmem_arch_setup() that returns a pointer to that structure. This way the
execmem initialization won't be called from every architecture, but rather
from a central place, namely a core_initcall() in execmem.

The execmem provides execmem_alloc() API that wraps __vmalloc_node_range()
with the parameters defined by the architectures.  If an architecture does
not implement execmem_arch_setup(), execmem_alloc() will fall back to
module_alloc().
