rust: module: place cleanup_module() in .exit.text section

Place cleanup_module() in .exit.text section. Currently,
cleanup_module() is likely placed in the .text section. It's
inconsistent with the layout of C modules, where cleanup_module() is
placed in .exit.text.

[ Boqun asked for an example of how the section changed to be
put in the log. Tomonori provided the following examples:

C module:

$ objdump -t ~/build/x86/drivers/block/loop.o|grep clean
0000000000000000 l O .exit.data 0000000000000008 __UNIQUE_ID___addressable_cleanup_module412
0000000000000000 g F .exit.text 000000000000009c cleanup_module

Rust module without this patch:

$ objdump -t ~/build/x86/samples/rust/rust_minimal.o|grep clean
00000000000002b0 g F .text 00000000000000c6 cleanup_module
0000000000000000 g O .exit.data 0000000000000008 _R...___UNIQUE_ID___addressable_cleanup_module

Rust module with this patch:

$ objdump -t ~/build/x86/samples/rust/rust_minimal.o|grep clean
0000000000000000 g F .exit.text 00000000000000c6 cleanup_module
0000000000000000 g O .exit.data 0000000000000008 _R...___UNIQUE_ID___addressable_cleanup_module
