After unloading a module, we must reset the linear mapping permissions,
see the example below:
Before unloading a module:
0xffffaf809d65d000-0xffffaf809d6dc000 0x000000011d65d000 508K PTE . .. .. D A G . . W R V
0xffffaf809d6dc000-0xffffaf809d6dd000 0x000000011d6dc000 4K PTE . .. .. D A G . . . R V
0xffffaf809d6dd000-0xffffaf809d6e1000 0x000000011d6dd000 16K PTE . .. .. D A G . . W R V
0xffffaf809d6e1000-0xffffaf809d6e7000 0x000000011d6e1000 24K PTE . .. .. D A G . X . R V
After unloading a module:
0xffffaf809d65d000-0xffffaf809d6e1000 0x000000011d65d000 528K PTE . .. .. D A G . . W R V
0xffffaf809d6e1000-0xffffaf809d6e7000 0x000000011d6e1000 24K PTE . .. .. D A G . X W R V
The last mapping is not reset and we end up with WX mappings in the linear
mapping.
So add VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS to our module_alloc() definition.
