Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific

let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
that.
This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
their own module_free() at all. avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
either.

I successfully tested it on the parisc arch.
