Currently, only the initial module that tainted the kernel is
recorded e.g. when an out-of-tree module is loaded.
The purpose of this patch is to allow the kernel to maintain a record of
each unloaded module that taints the kernel. So, in addition to
displaying a list of linked modules (see print_modules()) e.g. in the
event of a detected bad page, unloaded modules that carried a taint/or
taints are displayed too. A tainted module unload count is maintained.
The number of tracked modules is not fixed. This feature is disabled by
default.

Move module_enable_x() together with module_enable_nx() and
module_enable_ro().
Those three functions are going together, they are all used
to set up the correct page flags on the different sections.
As module_enable_x() is used independently of
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX, build strict_rwx.c all the time and
use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX) when relevant.

This patch migrates the kdb 'lsmod' command support out of main
kdb code into its own file under kernel/module. In addition to
the above, a minor style warning i.e. missing a blank line after
declarations, was resolved too. The new file was added to
MAINTAINERS. Finally we remove linux/module.h as it is entirely
redundant.
