module: don't ignore vermagic string if module doesn't have modversions

Browse Source 
Linus found a logic bug: we ignore the version number in a module's
vermagic string if we have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set, but modversions
also lets through a module with no __versions section for modprobe
--force (with tainting, but still).

We should only ignore the start of the vermagic string if the module
actually *has* crcs to check.  Rather than (say) having an
entertaining hissy fit and creating a config option to work around the
buggy code.

This option allows loading of modules even if that would set the Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe
'F' (forced) taint, due to lack of version info. Which is --force). Forced module loading sets the 'F' (forced) taint flag and
usually a really bad idea. is usually a really bad idea.
