Subject[PATCH] modpost: move the namespace field in Module.symvers last
Date
In order to preserve backwards compatability with kmod tools, we have to
move the namespace field in Module.symvers last, as the depmod -e -E
option looks at the first three fields in Module.symvers to check symbol
versions (and it's expected they stay in the original order of crc,
symbol, module).

Fixes: cb9b55d21fe0 ("modpost: add support for symbol namespaces")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

The syntax of the Module.symvers file is::

- <CRC> <Symbol> <Namespace> <Module> <Export Type>

The fields are separated by tabs and values may be empty (e.g.
if no namespace is defined for an exported symbol).
