Subject: [PATCH 05/14] scripts/sorttable: Make compare_extable() into two functions

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Instead of having the compare_extable() part of the sorttable.h header
where it get's defined twice, since it is a very simple function, just
define it twice in sorttable.c, and then it can use the proper read
functions for the word size and endianess and the Elf_Addr macro can be
removed from sorttable.h.

Also add a micro optimization. Instead of:

    if (a < b)
        return -1;
    if (a > b)
        return 1;
    return 0;

That can be shorten to:

   if (a < b)
      return -1;
   return a > b;
