A recent change in LLVM causes module_{c,d}tor sections to appear when

ld.lld: warning: arch/x86/pci/built-in.a(legacy.o):(.text.asan.module_dtor) is being placed in '.text.asan.module_dtor'
ld.lld: warning: arch/x86/pci/built-in.a(legacy.o):(.text.tsan.module_ctor) is being placed in '.text.tsan.module_ctor'
^ .text.tsan.*
I was wondering why the orphan section warning only arose recently.
Now I see: the function asan.module_ctor has the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag, so
it is in a separate section even with -fno-function-sections (default).
It seems that with -ffunction-sections the issue should have been caught
much earlier.
Place them in the TEXT_TEXT section so that these technologies continue
to work with the newer compiler versions. All of the KASAN and KCSAN
KUnit tests continue to pass after this change.

Will this match .text.tsan.module_ctor?
asan.module_ctor is the only function AddressSanitizer synthesizes in the instrumented translation unit.
There is no function called "asan".
(Even if a function "asan" exists due to -ffunction-sections
-funique-section-names, TEXT_MAIN will match .text.asan, so the
.text.asan pattern will match nothing.)
Do we want to add these conditionally on
CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC/CONFIG_KCSAN like we do for SANITIZER_DISCARDS?
