[PATCH v5 2/3] modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us to
easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to associate
each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it as
a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime load
offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space each,
resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for CRCs.
Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note that
on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values are still
emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if the value
resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations are always
resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on powerpc when
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC references into relative
references into .rodata where the actual CRC value is stored.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid potential
problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy toolchains, the
equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained for 32-bit
architectures.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")
