Commit 3a45b87ac3 (modutils: support finit_module syscall) introduced
macro finit_module. But it is not defined for uClibc.
The compilation for busybox fails for MIPS with:
With uClibc, we get following build errors:
modutils/lib.a(modutils.o): In function `bb_init_module':
modutils.c:(.text.bb_init_module+0x94): undefined reference to `finit_module'
modutils.c:(.text.bb_init_module+0xa0): undefined reference to `finit_module'
We can just use syscall() without any need for the
uClibc wrappers.
Newer versions of uClibc-ng (>1.0.20) will remove the
module syscall wrappers.

On some systems like Chromium OS, loading modules from non-verified
filesystems is denied. Only finit_module is allowed because an open
fd is passed which can be checked against a verified location.
Change the module loading code to first attempt finit_module and if
that fails for whatever reason, fall back to the existing logic.
On x86_64, this adds ~80 bytes to modutils/modutils.o and ~68 bytes
to modutils/modprobe-small.o.

If there are some spaces in the insmod command line, then
this will be splitted in single words as separate elements of
argv. It just needs to chain them together in the options string
passed to the sys_init_module syscall.

This change retains "or later" state! No licensing _changes_ here,
only form is adjusted (article, space between "GPL" and "v2" and so on).

- a lot faster (linear algorithmic complexity, smaller memory foot print)
- a lot smaller (the old code was overly complicated)
- loading of aliases is now module-init-tools compliant
- blacklisting is done correctly (-b option added)
- module argument quoting done right
- depmod now correctly generates modules.symbols and modules.alias
