When loading modules with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX enabled and
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX disabled, the memory allocated for modules would
not be page-aligned and cause the following BUG during frob_text.

Hi!

I have already committed a fix for this to modules-next and plan to
send a pull request next week.

Thanks!
