Sorry but this patch is completely buggy, and above description on the
accounting incorrect as well. Looks like this patch was not tested at all.

The below cBPF JITs that use module_memfree() which you replace with
bpf_jit_binary_free() are using module_alloc() internally to get the JIT
image buffer ...
