modpost: define TO_NATIVE() using bswap_* functions
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.
