module: fix module loading failure of large kernel modules for parisc
When creating the final layout of a kernel module in memory, allow the module loader to reserve some additional memory in front of a given section. This is currently only needed for the parisc port which needs to put the stub entries there to fulfill the 17/22bit PCREL relocations with large kernel modules like xfs.
