[3/4] bpf: add __weak hook for allocating executable memory

Commit Message

By default, BPF uses module_alloc() to allocate executable memory,
but this is not necessary on all arches and potentially undesirable
on some of them.

So break out the module_alloc() call into a __weak function to allow
it to be overridden in arch code.
