s390/expoline: Make modules use kernel expolines

Browse Source 
Currently, kernel modules contain their own set of expoline thunks. In
the case of EXPOLINE_EXTERN, this involves postlinking of precompiled
expoline.o. expoline.o is also necessary for out-of-source tree module
builds.

Now that the kernel modules area is less than 4 GB away from
kernel expoline thunks, make modules use kernel expolines. Also make
EXPOLINE_EXTERN the default if the compiler supports it. This simplifies
build and aligns with the approach adopted by other architectures.
