Skip freeing module's data section if there are non-zero allocation tags
because otherwise, once these allocations are freed, the access to their
code tag would cause UAF.

I know that module unloading was never considered really supported etc.
But should we printk something so the admin knows why it didn't unload, and
can go check those outstanding allocations?

Yes, that sounds reasonable. I'll add a pr_warn() in the next version.
Thanks!

If its not supported then we should not have it on modules. Module
loading and unloading should just work, otherwise then this should not
work with modules and leave them in a zombie state.

I replied on the v5 thread here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240306182440.2003814-13-surenb@google.com/
. Let's continue the discussion in that thread. Thanks!

Not have memory allocation profiling on modules?
