Subject: [PATCH v5 0/6] arch/x86: kprobes: Remove MODULES dependency

Remove MODULES dependency by migrating from module_alloc() to the new
text_alloc() API. Essentially these changes provide preliminaries for
allowing to compile a static kernel with a proper tracing support.

The same API can be used later on in other sites that allocate space for
trampolines, and trivially scaled to other arch's. An arch can inform
with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_TEXT_ALLOC that it's providing implementation for
text_alloc().

v4:
* Squash lock_modules() patches into one.
* Remove fallback versions of text_alloc() and text_free(). Instead, use
  ARCH_HAS_TEXT_ALLOC at site when required.
* Use lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() in text_free() instead of
  WARN_ON(in_interrupt()).

v3:
* Make text_alloc() API disjoint.
* Remove all the possible extra clutter not absolutely required and
  split into more logical pieces.
