[PATCH 2/5] module: add stop-grap sanity check on module memcpy()

From: Luis Chamberlain
Date: Sun Mar 19 2023 - 17:35:55 EST


The integrity of the struct module we load is important, and although
our ELF validator already checks that the module section must match
struct module, add a stop-gap check before we memcpy() the final minted
module. This also makes those inspecting the code what the goal is.

While at it, clarify the goal behind updating the sh_addr address.
The current comment is pretty misleading.
