+++ Jessica Yu [25/07/16 05:25 -0400]:
Add ro_after_init support for modules by adding a new page-aligned section
in the module layout (after rodata) for ro_after_init data and enabling RO
protection for that section after module init runs.

There is a slight quirk here in that klp_init_object_loaded() (which
calls klp_write_object_relocations()) can be called either during
patch module init (during patch registration) or after init (e.g.,
when a previously unloaded to-be-patched module is loaded). AFAIK
patch modules themselves don't use .data..ro_after_init sections, so
it's probably fine to set after_init to be true here for now. But I
still need to think some more about the case where we try to patch
data from another module marked __ro_after_init.
