[ Upstream commit 249c3a0e53acefc2b06d3b3e1fc28fb2081f878d ]

Place cleanup_module() in .exit.text section. Currently,
cleanup_module() is likely placed in the .text section. It's
inconsistent with the layout of C modules, where cleanup_module() is
placed in .exit.text.

[ Boqun asked for an example of how the section changed to be
  put in the log. Tomonori provided the following examples:

    C module:

      $ objdump -t ~/build/x86/drivers/block/loop.o|grep clean
      0000000000000000 l     O .exit.data    0000000000000008 __UNIQUE_ID___addressable_cleanup_module412
      0000000000000000 g     F .exit.text    000000000000009c cleanup_module

    Rust module without this patch:

      $ objdump -t ~/build/x86/samples/rust/rust_minimal.o|grep clean
      00000000000002b0 g     F .text         00000000000000c6 cleanup_module
      0000000000000000 g     O .exit.data    0000000000000008 _R...___UNIQUE_ID___addressable_cleanup_module

    Rust module with this patch:

      $ objdump -t ~/build/x86/samples/rust/rust_minimal.o|grep clean
      0000000000000000 g     F .exit.text    00000000000000c6 cleanup_module
      0000000000000000 g     O .exit.data    0000000000000008 _R...___UNIQUE_ID___addressable_cleanup_module
