[PATCH] arm64: correct modules range of kernel virtual memory layout

The commit f80fb3a3d508 ("arm64: add support for kernel ASLR")
moved module virtual address to
[module_alloc_base, module_alloc_base + MODULES_VSIZE).

Display module information of the virtual kernel
memory layout by using module_alloc_base.

testing output:
1) Current implementation:
Virtual kernel memory layout:
	modules : 0xffffff8000000000 - 0xffffff8008000000   (   128 MB)
2) this patch + KASLR:
Virtual kernel memory layout:
	modules : 0xffffff8000560000 - 0xffffff8008560000   (   128 MB)
3) this patch + KASLR and a dummy seed:
Virtual kernel memory layout:
	modules : 0xffffffa7df637000 - 0xffffffa7e7637000   (   128 MB)
