arm64: module: mandate MODULE_PLTS
Contemporary kernels and modules can be relatively large, especially
when common debug options are enabled. Using GCC 12.1.0, a v6.3-rc7
defconfig kernel is ~38M, and with PROVE_LOCKING + KASAN_INLINE enabled
this expands to ~117M. Shanker reports [1] that the NVIDIA GPU driver
alone can consume 110M of module space in some configurations.
Both KASLR and ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 select MODULE_PLTS, so anyone
wanting a kernel to have KASLR or run on Cortex-A53 will have
MODULE_PLTS selected. This is the case in defconfig and distribution
kernels (e.g. Debian, Android, etc).
Practically speaking, this means we're very likely to need MODULE_PLTS
and while it's almost guaranteed that MODULE_PLTS will be selected, it
is possible to disable support, and we have to maintain some awkward
special cases for such unusual configurations.
This patch removes the MODULE_PLTS config option, with the support code
always enabled if MODULES is selected. This results in a slight
simplification, and will allow for further improvement in subsequent
patches.
For any config which currently selects MODULE_PLTS, there will be no
functional change as a result of this patch.
