[PATCH 3/4] kprobes/treewide: Explicitly override alloc/free functions

Currently architectures can override kprobes_alloc_insn_page(), but
kprobes_free_insn_page() is always implemented using module_memfree(),
which might not be what an architecture needs, especially as we'd like
to make it possible to use kprobes without requiring MODULES.

It would be nicer if architectures either:

(a) Used only the generic kprobes_alloc_insn_page() and
    kprobes_free_insn_page(), implicitly depending on MODULES.

(b) Provided their own implementation of both kprobes_alloc_insn_page()
    and kprobes_free_insn_page(), handling the relevant dependencies
    themselves.

This patch applies that split treewide:

(a) Architectures using the generic kprobes_free_insn_page() and
    kprobes_free_insn_page() are left as-is. The __weak annotation is
    removed from the generic implementations so that accidental
    overrides/misuse can be detected easily.

(b) Architectures which provide their own kprobes_free_insn_page() are
    given a matching implementation of kprobes_free_insn_page(), and
    select HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC.

    This new Kconfig symbol will allow subsequent patches to relax the
    dependency on MODULES to (MODULES || HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC) once other
    module dependencies in the core kprobes code are cleaned up.

    Architectures which use module_alloc() are given an implementation
    using module_memfree() along with an explicit dependency on MODULES.

    Architectures using __vmalloc_node_range() are given an
    implementation using vfree(). This loses the warning for
    in_interrupt(), but vfree() can handle this via vfree_atomic(), so
    the warning isn't necessary.

    On riscv, the allocator depends on !XIP_KERNEL, which is already a
    dependency for HAVE_KPROBES in arch/riscv/Kconfig.
