module: workaround duplicate section names
The root cause is a duplicate section name (.text); is this legal?
[ Amerigo Wang: "AFAIK, yes." ]
However, there's a problem with commit
6d76013381ed28979cd122eb4b249a88b5e384fa in that if you fail to allocate
a mod->sect_attrs (in this case it's null because of the duplication),
it still gets used without checking in add_notes_attrs()
This should fix it
[ This patch leaves other problems, particularly the sections directory,
but recent parisc toolchains seem to produce these modules and this
prevents a crash and is a minimal change -- RR ]
