modpost: fix removing numeric suffixes
With the `-z unique-symbol` linker flag or any similar mechanism, it is possible to trigger the following: ERROR: modpost: "param_set_uint.0" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL The reason is that for now the condition from remove_dot(): if (m && (s[n + m] == '.' || s[n + m] == 0)) which was designed to test if it's a dot or a '\0' after the suffix is never satisfied. This is due to that `s[n + m]` always points to the last digit of a numeric suffix, not on the symbol next to it (from a custom debug print added to modpost): param_set_uint.0, s[n + m] is '0', s[n + m + 1] is '\0' So it's off-by-one and was like that since 2014. Fix this for the sake of any potential upcoming features, but don't bother stable-backporting, as it's well hidden -- apart from that LD flag, it can be triggered only with GCC LTO which never landed upstream.
