genksyms: Ignore module scoped _Static_assert()

The C11 _Static_assert() keyword may be used at module scope, and we
need to teach genksyms about it to not abort with an error. We currently
have a growing number of static_assert() (but also direct usage of
_Static_assert()) users at module scope:

git grep -E '^_Static_assert\(|^static_assert\(' | grep -v '^tools' | wc -l
135

More recently, when enabling CONFIG_MODVERSIONS with CONFIG_KCSAN, we
observe a number of warnings:

WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "<..all kcsan symbols..>" [vmlinux] [...]

When running a preprocessed source through 'genksyms -w' a number of
syntax errors point at usage of static_assert()s. In the case of
kernel/kcsan/encoding.h, new static_assert()s had been introduced which
used expressions that appear to cause genksyms to not even be able to
recover from the syntax error gracefully (as it appears was the case
previously).

Therefore, make genksyms ignore all _Static_assert() and the contained
expression. With the fix, usage of _Static_assert() no longer cause
"syntax error" all over the kernel, and the above modpost warnings for
KCSAN are gone, too.

export.h, genksyms: do not make genksyms calculate CRC of trimmed symbols

Arnd Bergmann reported false-positive modpost warnings detected by his
randconfig testing of linux-next.

Actually, this happens under the combination of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS since commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost:
check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions").

For example, arch/arm/config/multi_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
+ CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS produces the following false-positives:

WARNING: "__lshrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ashrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_lasr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_llsr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "ftrace_set_clr_event" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__muldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_ulcmp" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ucmpdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_lmul" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__bswapsi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__bswapdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ashldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_llsl" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)

The root cause of the problem is not in the modpost, but in the
implementation of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS.

If there is at least one untrimmed symbol in the file, genksyms is
invoked to calculate CRC of *all* the exported symbols in that file
even if some of them have been trimmed due to no caller existing.

As a result, .tmp_*.ver files contain CRC of trimmed symbols, thus
unneeded, orphan __crc* symbols are added to objects. It had been
harmless until recently.

With commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL*
functions"), it is now harmful because the bogus __crc* symbols make
modpost call sym_update_crc() to add the symbols to the hash table,
but there is no one that clears the ->is_static member.

I gave Fixes to the first commit that uncovered the issue, but the
potential problem has long existed since commit f235541699bc
("export.h: allow for per-symbol configurable EXPORT_SYMBOL()").
