module: workaround duplicate section names



The root cause is a duplicate section name (.text); is this legal?
[ Amerigo Wang: "AFAIK, yes." ]

However, there's a problem with commit
6d760133 in that if you fail to allocate
a mod->sect_attrs (in this case it's null because of the duplication),
it still gets used without checking in add_notes_attrs()

This should fix it

[ This patch leaves other problems, particularly the sections directory,
  but recent parisc toolchains seem to produce these modules and this
  prevents a crash and is a minimal change -- RR ]
