6.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 2abcc4b5a64a65a2d2287ba0be5c2871c1552416 upstream.
module_init_layout_section() choses whether the core module loader considers a section as init or not. This affects the placement of the exit section when module unloading is disabled. This code will never run, so it can be free()d once the module has been initialised.
arm and arm64 need to count the number of PLTs they need before applying relocations based on the section name. The init PLTs are stored separately so they can be free()d. arm and arm64 both use within_module_init() to decide which list of PLTs to use when applying the relocation.
Because within_module_init()'s behaviour changes when module unloading is disabled, both architecture would need to take this into account when counting the PLTs.
Today neither architecture does this, meaning when module unloading is disabled there are insufficient PLTs in the init section to load some modules, resulting in warnings: | WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 51 at arch/arm64/kernel/module-plts.c:99 module_emit_plt_entry+0x184/0x1cc | Modules linked in: crct10dif_common | CPU: 2 PID: 51 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.5.0-rc4-yocto-standard-dirty #15208 | Hardware name: QEMU KVM Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 | pstate: 20400005 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) | pc : module_emit_plt_entry+0x184/0x1cc | lr : module_emit_plt_entry+0x94/0x1cc | sp : ffffffc0803bba60 [...] | Call trace: | module_emit_plt_entry+0x184/0x1cc | apply_relocate_add+0x2bc/0x8e4 | load_module+0xe34/0x1bd4 | init_module_from_file+0x84/0xc0 | __arm64_sys_finit_module+0x1b8/0x27c | invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0x5c/0x104 | do_el0_svc+0x58/0x160 | el0_svc+0x38/0x110 | el0t_64_sync_handler+0xc0/0xc4 | el0t_64_sync+0x190/0x194
Instead of duplicating module_init_layout_section()s logic, expose it.
