Modules changes for v7.0-rc1

Module signing:
 
   - Remove SHA-1 support for signing modules. SHA-1 is no longer
     considered secure for signatures due to vulnerabilities that can
     lead to hash collisions. None of the major distributions use
     SHA-1 anymore, and the kernel has defaulted to SHA-512 since
     v6.11. Note that loading SHA-1 signed modules is still supported.
 
   - Update scripts/sign-file to use only the OpenSSL CMS API for
     signing. As SHA-1 support is gone, we can drop the legacy PKCS#7
     API which was limited to SHA-1. This also cleans up support for
     legacy OpenSSL versions.
 
 Cleanups and fixes:
 
   - Use system_dfl_wq instead of the per-cpu system_wq following the
     ongoing workqueue API refactoring.
 
   - Avoid open-coded kvrealloc() in module decompression logic by
     using the standard helper.
 
   - Improve section annotations by replacing the custom __modinit
     with __init_or_module and removing several unused __INIT*_OR_MODULE
     macros.
 
   - Fix kernel-doc warnings in include/linux/moduleparam.h.
 
   - Ensure set_module_sig_enforced is only declared when module
     signing is enabled.
 
   - Fix gendwarfksyms build failures on 32-bit hosts.
 
 MAINTAINERS:
 
   - Update the module subsystem entry to reflect the maintainer
     rotation and update the git repository link.
 
 The changes have been soaking in linux-next since -rc2.
 
 Note that like Daniel mentioned in the previous pull request [1], we
 rotate maintainership every 6 months, and I will be handling the module
 subsystem pull requests for the first half of this year.
