We can allow modules to be loaded into the vmalloc region, where they
should also benefit from the same protections as those loaded into
the more efficient module region. Allow these functions to operate
there as well.

The set_memory_*() bounds checks are buggy on several fronts:
1. They fail to round the region size up if the passed address is not
page aligned.
2. The region check was incomplete, and didn't correspond with what
was being asked of apply_to_page_range()
So, rework change_memory_common() to fix these problems, adding an
"in_region()" helper to determine whether the start & size fit within
the provided region start and stop addresses.

Allow zero size updates. This makes set_memory_xx() consistent with x86, s390 and arm64 and makes apply_to_page_range() not to BUG() when loading modules.

The set_memory_* functions currently only support module
addresses. The addresses are validated using is_module_addr.
That function is special though and relies on internal state
in the module subsystem to work properly. At the time of
module initialization and calling set_memory_*, it's too early
for is_module_addr to work properly so it always returns
false. Rather than be subject to the whims of the module state,
just bounds check against the module virtual address range.

set_memory_* functions have same implementation
except memory attribute.
This patch makes to use common function for these, and pull out
the functions into arch/arm/mm/pageattr.c like arm64 did.
It will reduce code size and enhance the readability.
