[PATCH] modpost: file2alias: define size of alias

[Mattias Jacobsson]

The size of the variable alias provided to do_entry functions are
currently not readily available. Thus hindering do_entry functions to
perform bounds checking.

Define the macro ALIAS_SIZE containing the size of the variable alias.
