bpf: add __weak hook for allocating executable memory

Ard Biesheuvel · borkmann · commit dc002bb62f10 · 2018-12-05T16:36:28.000+01:00
By default, BPF uses module_alloc() to allocate executable memory,
but this is not necessary on all arches and potentially undesirable
on some of them.

So break out the module_alloc() and module_memfree() calls into __weak
functions to allow them to be overridden in arch code.
