Subject: [PATCH 3/3] module: do not hide __modver_version_show declaration behind ifdef

Doing so prevents the following warning from sparse:

  CHECK   kernel/params.c
kernel/params.c:817:9: warning: symbol '__modver_version_show' was not
declared. Should it be static?

since kernel/params.c is never compiled with MODULE being set.
