module: allow arch overrides for .exit section names
Some archs like ARM store unwind information for .exit.text in sections with unusual names. As this unwind information refers to .exit.text, it must not be loaded when .exit.text is not loaded (when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD is unset); otherwise, loading a module can fail due to relocation failures.
