The ELF ".gnu.linkonce.this_module" section is special, it is what we
use to construct the struct module __this_module, which THIS_MODULE
points to. When userspace loads a module we always deal first with a
copy of the userspace buffer, and twiddle with the userspace copy's
version of the struct module. Eventually we allocate memory to do a
memcpy() of that struct module, under the assumption that the module
size is right. But we have no validity checks against the size or
the requirements for the section.

Add some validity checks for the special module section early and while
at it, cache the module section index early, so we don't have to do that
later.

While at it, just move over the assigment of the info->mod to make the
code clearer. The validity checker also adds an explicit size check to
ensure the module section size matches the kernel's run time size for
sizeof(struct module). This should prevent sloppy loads of modules
which are built today *without* actually increasing the size of
the struct module. A developer today can for example expand the size
of struct module, rebuild a directoroy 'make fs/xfs/' for example and
then try to insmode the driver there. That module would in effect have
an incorrect size. This new size check would put a stop gap against such
mistakes.

This also makes the entire goal of ".gnu.linkonce.this_module" pretty
clear. Before this patch verification of the goal / intent required some
Indian Jones whips, torches and cleaning up big old spider webs.
