[PATCH v2] arch/riscv: Enable kprobes when CONFIG_MODULES=n

Sat Mar 23 16:29:08 PDT 2024
Tracing with kprobes while running a monolithic kernel is currently
impossible due the kernel module allocator dependency.
Address the issue by allowing architectures to implement module_alloc()
and module_memfree() independent of the module subsystem. An arch tree
can signal this by setting HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC in its Kconfig file.
Realize the feature on RISC-V by separating allocator to module_alloc.c
and implementing module_memfree().

v2:
- Better late than never right? :-)
- Focus only to RISC-V for now to make the patch more digestable. This
is the arch where I use the patch on a daily basis to help with QA.
- Introduce HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC flag to help with more gradual migration.
