Because if rodata=n, set_memory_x() cann't be called, fix this by
calling set_memory_x in complete_formation();

Just a style-related nit: could you also please shrink down this chunk
and remove the empty lines between the frob_* calls?
OKïI will do it in next version.

And note that we will need a stub for module_enable_x() here as well.
module_enable_x() is outside of CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.

Ah yeah you're right, my mistake. We need it outside of the
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX block anyway since module_alloc() on x86
allocates memory with PAGE_KERNEL now instead of PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC and
we need to set text to executable regardless.
