module: Move RO/NX module protection to after ftrace module update

The commit:

84e1c6bb38eb318e456558b610396d9f1afaabf0
x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules

Broke the function tracer with this output:

ftrace faulted on writing [<ffffffffa00026db>]
__process_new_adapter+0x7/0x34 [i2c_core]

The cause was that the module text was set to read only before ftrace
could convert the calls to mcount to nops. Thus, the conversions failed
due to not being able to write to the text locations.

The simple fix is to move setting the module to read only after the
module notifiers are called (where ftrace sets the module mcounts to nops).
