modules: Take a shortcut for checking if an address is in a module 

This patch keeps track of the boundaries of module allocation, in
order to speed up module_text_address().

Inspired by Arjan's version, which required arch-specific defines:

	Various pieces of the kernel (lockdep, latencytop, etc) tend
	to store backtraces, sometimes at a relatively high
	frequency. In itself this isn't a big performance deal (after
	all you're using diagnostics features), but there have been
	some complaints from people who have over 100 modules loaded
	that this is a tad too slow.

	This is due to the new backtracer code which looks at every
	slot on the stack to see if it's a kernel/module text address,
	so that's 1024 slots.  1024 times 100 modules... that's a lot
	of list walking.
