Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] modversions: Fix CRC mangling under CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

This series is a followup to the single patch 'modversions: treat symbol
CRCs as 32 bit quantities on 64 bit archs', of which two versions have
been sent out so far [0][1]

As pointed out by Michael, GNU ld behaves a bit differently between arm64
and PowerPC64, and where the former gets rid of all runtime relocations
related to CRCs, the latter is not as easily convinced.

Patch #1 fixes the issue where CRCs are corrupted by the runtime relocation
routines for 32-bit PowerPC, for which the original fix was effectively
reverted by commit 0e0ed6406e61 ("powerpc/modules: Module CRC relocation fix
causes perf issues")

Patch #2 adds handling of R_PPC64_ADDR32 relocations against the NULL .dynsym
symbol entry to the PPC64 runtime relocation routines, so it is prepared to
deal with CRCs being emitted as 32-bit quantities.

Patch #3 is the original patch from the v1 and v2 submissions.

Changes since v2:
- added #1 and #2
- updated #3 to deal with CRC entries being emitted from assembler
- added Rusty's ack (#3)
