x86: Fix jump label with RO/NX module protection crash
If we use jump table in module init, there are marked
as removed in __jump_table section after init is done.

But we already applied ro permissions on the module, so
we can't modify a read only section (crash in
remove_jump_label_module_init).

Make the __jump_table section rw.
