powerpc/module_64: use module_init_section instead of patching names
Without this patch, module init sections are disabled by patching their names in arch-specific code when they're loaded (which prevents code in layout_sections from finding init sections). This patch uses the new arch-specific module_init_section instead. This allows modules that have .init_array sections to have the initialisers properly called (on load, before init). Without this patch, the initialisers are not called because .init_array is renamed to _init_array, and thus isn't found by code in find_module_sections().
