module: Optimize __module_address() using a latched RB-tree
Currently __module_address() is using a linear search through all modules in order to find the module corresponding to the provided address. With a lot of modules this can take a lot of time. One of the users of this is kernel_text_address() which is employed in many stack unwinders; which in turn are used by perf-callchain and ftrace (possibly from NMI context). So by optimizing __module_address() we optimize many stack unwinders which are used by both perf and tracing in performance sensitive code.
