Obviously kaslr is setting the module region to 2GB rather than 4GB since
commit b2eed9b588 ("arm64/kernel: kaslr: reduce module randomization
range to 2 GB"). So fix the size of region in Kconfig.
On the other hand, even though RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is not set,
module_alloc() can fall back to a 2GB window if ARM64_MODULE_PLTS is set.
In this case, veneers are still needed. !RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL
doesn't necessarily mean veneers are not needed.
So fix the doc to be more precise to avoid any confusion to the readers
of the code.

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.
