[PATCH] powerpc64/module elfv1: Set opd addresses after module relocation

module_frob_arch_sections() is called before the module is moved to its
final location. The function descriptor section addresses we are setting
here are thus invalid. Fix this by processing opd section during 
module_finalize()

Fixes: 5633e85b2c313 ("powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference")

This can easily be seen by doing:

  $ sudo perf probe -L module_frob_arch_sections | grep -A5 opd
       20  		else if (!strcmp(secstrings + sechdrs[i].sh_name, ".opd")) {
       21  			me->arch.start_opd = sechdrs[i].sh_addr;
       22  			me->arch.end_opd = sechdrs[i].sh_addr +
						     sechdrs[i].sh_size;
			  }

			  /* We don't handle .init for the moment: rename to _init */
       27  		while ((p = strstr(secstrings + sechdrs[i].sh_name, ".init")))
  $ sudo perf probe module_frob_arch_sections:27 me-\>arch.start_opd me-\>arch.end_opd
  Added new events:
    probe:module_frob_arch_sections (on module_frob_arch_sections:27 with start_opd=me->arch.start_opd end_opd=me->arch.end_opd)
    probe:module_frob_arch_sections_1 (on module_frob_arch_sections:27 with start_opd=me->arch.start_opd end_opd=me->arch.end_opd)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:module_frob_arch_sections_1 -aR sleep 1

  $ sudo perf record -e probe:* modprobe kprobe_example
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (48 samples) ]
  $ sudo perf script
	  modprobe 10463 [001] 311838.332208:   probe:module_frob_arch_sections: (c000000000043b0c) start_opd=0xd000000000910750 end_opd=0xd0000000009107a0
	  modprobe 10463 [001] 311838.332209:   probe:module_frob_arch_sections: (c000000000043b0c) start_opd=0xd000000000910750 end_opd=0xd0000000009107a0
  $ sudo cat /proc/modules | grep kprobe_example
  kprobe_example 3716 0 - Live 0xd000000000970000

With this patch, probing on module_finalize() shows the expected values.
