[PATCH] modpost warnings with external modules w/o modversions

[Johannes Stezenbach]

Hi,

when building external modules (DVB drivers in this case)
for a kernel without CONFIG_MODVERSIONS I get a number of:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-rc1'
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST
*** Warning: "dvb_unregister_frontend_new" [.../dvb-kernel/build-2.6/ves1x93.ko] has no CRC!


I believe that there is a small bug in modpost.c which the
patch below attempts to fix.
