ARM: 8752/1: Kconfig: default ARM_MODULE_PLTS to 'y'
While testing multi_v7_defconfig with config fragments that makes the
kernel size to grow. The kernel fails to load simple modules, as
reported by kselftest:
[ 34.107620] test_printf: section 4 reloc 2 sym 'memset': relocation
28 out of range (0xbf046044 -> 0xc109f720)
selftests: printf.sh [FAIL]
The problem that is seen when enabling too much in the kernel without
enabling ARM_MODULE_PLTS, is that the top of the kernel gets out of
reach from the bottom of the module area.
