mainlining shenanigans

When we load a module, we have to perform some special work for a couple of named sections. To do this, we iterate over all of the module's sections, and perform work for each section we recognize. To make it easier to handle the unexpected absence of a section, and to make the section-specific logic easer to read, let's factor the section search into a helper. Similar is already done in the core module loader, and other architectures (and ideally we'd unify these in future). If we expect a module to have an ftrace trampoline section, but it doesn't have one, we'll now reject loading the module. When ARM64_MODULE_PLTS is selected, any correctly built module should have one (and this is assumed by arm64's ftrace PLT code) and the absence of such a section implies something has gone wrong at build time. Subsequent patches will make use of the new helper.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
