module: fix kmemleak annotations for non init ELF sections 

Commit ac3b432839 ("module: replace module_layout with module_memory")
reworked the way to handle memory allocations to make it clearer. But it
lost in translation how we handled kmemleak_ignore() or kmemleak_not_leak()
for different ELF sections.

Fix this and clarify the comments a bit more. Contrary to the old way
of using kmemleak_ignore() for init.* ELF sections we stick now only to
kmemleak_not_leak() as per suggestion by Catalin Marinas so to avoid
any false positives and simplify the code.
