[PATCH v2] riscv: mm: Pre-allocate module page tables for execmem

[Karl Mehltretter]

RV64 pre-allocates page-table levels for late kernel mappings. The module
range is guarded by CONFIG_MODULES, although execmem can use it without
modules. BPF_JIT_REGION_START..BPF_JIT_REGION_END lies within
MODULES_VADDR..MODULES_END.

With CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y and CONFIG_MODULES=n, execmem adds a mapping to
init_mm while the current process retains an empty PGD entry. Initializing
a BPF program pack then faults:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request ...
  [ffffffff78000000] pgd=0000000000000000
  ...
  bpf_jit_fill_hole_with_zero
  bpf_prog_pack_alloc

Use CONFIG_EXECMEM for the module-range pre-allocation, as powerpc does
for its execmem page-table setup. Both CONFIG_MODULES and CONFIG_BPF_JIT
select it.

Changes in v2:
- State that the BPF JIT region lies inside the module region (Mike).
- Add Acked-by tags from Mike Rapoport and Björn Töpel.
- No code changes from v1.

Notes:
    Tested on a BeagleV Ahead with matched LLVM 18.1.3 builds based on
    v7.3-rc7:

    - unpatched: a native XDP attach triggered the Oops above
    - patched: native XDP attach and detach completed without an Oops
