parisc: Enable -ffunction-sections for modules on 32-bit kernel
commit 1e8249b8a4e960018e4baca6b523b8a4500af600 upstream.
Frank Schreiner reported, that since kernel 4.18 he faces sysfs-warnings
when loading modules on a 32-bit kernel. Here is one such example:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/nfs/sections/.text'
CPU: 0 PID: 98 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 4.18.0-2-parisc #1 Debian 4.18.10-2

This warning gets triggered by the fact, that due to commit 24b6c22504a2
("parisc: Build kernel without -ffunction-sections") we now get multiple .text
sections in the kernel modules for which sysfs_create_group() can't create
multiple virtual files.
This patch works around the problem by re-enabling the -ffunction-sections
compiler option for modules, while keeping it disabled for the non-module
kernel code.
