After unloading a module, we must reset the linear mapping permissions,
see the example below:
Before unloading a module:
0xffffaf809d65d000-0xffffaf809d6dc000 0x000000011d65d000 508K PTE . .. .. D A G . . W R V
0xffffaf809d6dc000-0xffffaf809d6dd000 0x000000011d6dc000 4K PTE . .. .. D A G . . . R V
0xffffaf809d6dd000-0xffffaf809d6e1000 0x000000011d6dd000 16K PTE . .. .. D A G . . W R V
0xffffaf809d6e1000-0xffffaf809d6e7000 0x000000011d6e1000 24K PTE . .. .. D A G . X . R V
After unloading a module:
0xffffaf809d65d000-0xffffaf809d6e1000 0x000000011d65d000 528K PTE . .. .. D A G . . W R V
0xffffaf809d6e1000-0xffffaf809d6e7000 0x000000011d6e1000 24K PTE . .. .. D A G . X W R V
The last mapping is not reset and we end up with WX mappings in the linear
mapping.
So add VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS to our module_alloc() definition.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
