[PATCH 3/5] modpost: define TO_NATIVE() using bswap_* functions

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sat Oct 07 2023 - 13:05:31 EST


The current TO_NATIVE() has some limitations:

1) You cannot cast the argument.

2) You cannot pass a variable marked as 'const'.

3) Passing an array is a bug, but it is not detected.

Impelement TO_NATIVE() using bswap_*() functions. These are GNU
extensions. If we face portability issues, we can port the code from
include/uapi/linux/swab.h.

With this change, get_rel_type_and_sym() can be simplified by casting
the arguments directly.
