[PATCH 0/4] bpf: permit JIT allocations to be served outside the module region

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 fixes a bug introduced during the merge window, where the new
alloc/free tracking does not account for memory that is freed by some
arch code.
Patch #2 refactors the freeing path so that architectures can switch to
something other than module_memfree().
Patch #3 does the same for module_alloc().
Patch #4 implements the new alloc/free overrides for arm64
