[lvc-project] [PATCH 5.15 1/1] x86/modules: Set VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS in module_alloc()

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx at linutronix.de>

commit 4c4eb3ecc91f4fee6d6bf7cfbc1e21f2e38d19ff upstream.

Instead of resetting permissions all over the place when freeing module
memory tell the vmalloc code to do so. Avoids the exercise for the next
upcoming user.
