arm64/module: set trampoline section flags regardless of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
In the arm64 module linker script, the section .text.ftrace_trampoline is specified unconditionally regardless of whether CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled (this is simply due to the limitation that module linker scripts are not preprocessed like the vmlinux one). Normally, for .plt and .text.ftrace_trampoline, the section flags present in the module binary wouldn't matter since module_frob_arch_sections() would assign them manually anyway. However, the arm64 module loader only sets the section flags for .text.ftrace_trampoline when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y. That's only become problematic recently due to a recent change in binutils-2.35, where the .text.ftrace_trampoline section (along with the .plt section) is now marked writable and executable (WAX). We no longer allow writable and executable sections to be loaded due to commit 5c3a7db0c7ec ("module: Harden STRICT_MODULE_RWX"), so this is causing all modules linked with binutils-2.35 to be rejected under arm64. Drop the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE) check in module_frob_arch_sections() so that the section flags for .text.ftrace_trampoline get properly set to SHF_EXECINSTR|SHF_ALLOC, without SHF_WRITE.
