Make module_alloc() use PAGE_KERNEL protections instead of
PAGE_KERNEL_EXEX if Strict Module RWX is enabled.

v14: - Split out from powerpc: Set ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
      - Add and use strict_module_rwx_enabled() helper

Looking at arch/Kconfig, I have the feeling that it is possible to select CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX 
without selecting CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.

In that case, strict_kernel_rwx_enabled() will return false.
