Kconfig.debug: module: Add debug config to debug modules
There can be scenario where, dynamically loadable modules adds
a certain nodes in list data structure and forgot to remove
reference from the list while unloading themself. And this can
result in fault while accessing those dangling pointers.
So If we log the module used address ranges, we could be able to
tell exact victim module.
And, It will be good to keep these debug logs under a config flag.
So, let's add DEBUG_MODULE_LOAD_INFO config and use this in
printing module used init and core layout address
ranges.
e.g:
Core layout sections:
[ 40.599573] .text
[ 40.627074] .plt
[ 40.603426] .rodata.str1.8
[ 40.608016] __mcount_loc
[ 40.622142] .note.gnu.build-id
[ 40.612654] .data
[ 40.616438] .gnu.linkonce.this_module
[ 40.634909] .bss
Init layout sections
[ 40.630781] .init.plt
[ 40.638591] .symtab
[ 40.642573] .strtab
