[PATCH 3/3] ARM: module - additional unwind tables for exit/devexit sections

Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak.
This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't
laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is
enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable.
Similarly, BUGs and WARN_ONs will give additional console spam.
