[PATCH v4 15/16] module: Move where we mark modules RO,X

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri Oct 18 2019 - 03:51:29 EST


Now that set_all_modules_text_*() is gone, nothing depends on the
relation between ->state = COMING and the protection state anymore.
This enables moving the protection changes later, such that the COMING
notifier callbacks can more easily modify the text.
