kbuild: modversions: Fix relative CRC byte order interpretation
Fix commit 56067812 ("kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCs") where CRCs are interpreted in host byte order rather than proper kernel byte order. The bug is conditional on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. For example, when loading a BE module into a BE kernel compiled with a LE system, the error "disagrees about version of symbol module_layout" is produced. A message such as "Found checksum D7FA6856 vs module 5668FAD7" will be given with debug enabled, which indicates an obvious endian problem within __kcrctab within the kernel image. The general solution is to use the macro TO_NATIVE, as is done in similar cases throughout modpost.c. With this correction it has been verified that a BE kernel compiled with a LE system accepts BE modules. This change has also been verified with a LE kernel compiled with a LE system, in which case TO_NATIVE returns its value unmodified since the byte orders match. This is by far the common case.
