[PATCH] Handle non ABS crc symbols

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

For some reason I managed to trick gcc into create CRC symbols that
are not absolute anymore, but weak.

Make modpost handle this case.

Andrew, this should fix the bizarre warning. Seems like a toolchain
bug to me.
