[PATCH 3.2 020/104] modpost: reduce visibility of symbols and constify r/o arrays

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.101-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7a3ee7538598e0d60e6aa87dcf34a4e8a0adebc2 upstream.

Internally used symbols of modpost don't need to be externally visible;
make them static. Also constify the string arrays so they resist in the
r/o section instead of being runtime writable.

Those changes lead to a small size reduction as can be seen below:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  51381    2640   12416   66437   10385 scripts/mod/modpost.old
  51765    2224   12416   66405   10365 scripts/mod/modpost.new
