Subject: [PATCH] x86_32: Fix module version table mismatch.

Commit a4b6a77b "module: fix symbol versioning with symbol prefixes" broke
loading of net/ipv6/ipv6.ko built with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y for x86_32.

  # modprobe ipv6
  FATAL: Error inserting ipv6 (/lib/modules/3.9.0-rc8-next-20130422/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko): Invalid argument
  # dmesg
  ipv6: no symbol version for memcmp
  ipv6: Unknown symbol memcmp (err -22)

The reason for breakage is that check_version() in kernel/module.c tries to
find symname == "memcmp" but versions[i].name == "__builtin_memcmp".

The reason for versions[i].name == "__builtin_memcmp" is that
memcmp() for x86_32 is defined as

  #define memcmp __builtin_memcmp

in arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h while memcmp() for x86_64 is defined as

  int memcmp(const void *cs, const void *ct, size_t count);

in arch/x86/include/asm/string_64.h.

Since __builtin_memcmp is a gcc's built-in function which might emit a call to
memcmp, __builtin_memcmp should not be used for versions[i].name field.

In order to make sure that versions[i].name == "memcmp", make the definition of
memcmp() for x86_32 identical with that of x86_64.
