We do need to call the constructors for *modules*, even
if libc calls the ones for the kernel binary itself, so
allow enabling CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS but skip the kernel.

Tested that it indeed doesn't work in modules, and does
work after the fixes in both, with a few functions with
__attribute__((constructor)) in both dynamic and static
builds.

Hmm, no, this doesn't work. I was trying to do this for KASAN, but libc
calls this stuff WAY too early, and so KASAN just crashes.

It *does* get called (only once), but much too early.

Let's see if I can come up with a fix.
