arm64: add module support for alternatives fixups
Currently the kernel patches all necessary instructions once at boot time, so modules are not covered by this. Change the apply_alternatives() function to take a beginning and an end pointer and introduce a new variant (apply_alternatives_all()) to cover the existing use case for the static kernel image section. Add a module_finalize() function to arm64 to check for an alternatives section in a module and patch only the instructions from that specific area. Since that module code is not touched before the module initialization has ended, we don't need to halt the machine before doing the patching in the module's code.
