Actually, we could simply set fixed MODULES_END, as it was before f06bdd4001c2 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size").
AFAICS, the whole point of f06bdd4001c2 was to move MODULES_END down if NR_CPUS is big.
But since 92a0f81d8957 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap") cpu_entry_area is not in fixmap anymore.
So it should be fine to set fixed MODULES_END.

The only concern I have is 4.14 stable, where 21506525f ("x86/kasan/64: Teach KASAN about the cpu_entry_area") was backported.
Is 92a0f81d8957 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap") also a candidate for stable?
If so, fixed MODULES_END seems like a better choice.
