I notice this can produce false positive warnings.

ARCH=arm allyesconfig produces the following:

WARNING: vmlinux: '__crc_ccitt_veneer' is invalid use. __crc_* is
reserved for modversion
WARNING: vmlinux: '__crc_ccitt_veneer' is invalid use. __crc_* is
reserved for modversion
WARNING: vmlinux: '__crc_ccitt_veneer' is invalid use. __crc_* is
reserved for modversion
WARNING: vmlinux: '__crc_itu_t_veneer' is invalid use. __crc_* is
reserved for modversion
WARNING: vmlinux: '__crc_itu_t_veneer' is invalid use. __crc_* is
reserved for modversion
WARNING: vmlinux: '__crc_itu_t_veneer' is invalid use. __crc_* is
reserved for modversion


The ARM compiler inserts veneers automatically.

I will remove this warn(), and add commit messages as follows:

    In some cases, I see atand-alone __crc_* without __ksymtab_*.
    For example, ARCH=arm allyesconfig produces __crc_ccitt_veneer and
    __crc_itu_t_veneer. I guess they come from crc_ccitt, crc_itu_t,
    respectively. Since __*_veneer are auto-generated symbols, just
    ignore them.
