Mark Rutland 8339f7d8e1 arm64: module: remove old !KASAN_VMALLOC logic
Historically, KASAN could be selected with or without KASAN_VMALLOC, and
we had to be very careful where to place modules when KASAN_VMALLOC was
not selected.

However, since commit:

  f6f37d9320 ("arm64: select KASAN_VMALLOC for SW/HW_TAGS modes")

Selecting CONFIG_KASAN on arm64 will also select CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC,
and so the logic for handling CONFIG_KASAN without CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC
is redundant and can be removed.

Note: the "kasan.vmalloc={on,off}" option which only exists for HW_TAGS
changes whether the vmalloc region is given non-match-all tags, and does
not affect the page table manipulation code.

The VM_DEFER_KMEMLEAK flag was only necessary for !CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC
as described in its introduction in commit:

  60115fa54a ("mm: defer kmemleak object creation of module_alloc()")

... and therefore it can also be removed.

Remove the redundant logic for !CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC. At the same time,
add the missing braces around the multi-line conditional block in
arch/arm64/kernel/module.c.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
