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.

usecase:
two sd cards are being mounted in parallel at same time on dual core. example
modules which are getting loaded is nls_cp437. While one module is being
loaded , it makes state in /proc/modules as 'coming' and then starts doing its
module init function (in our case - registering nls). meanwhile on other core,
if modprobe returns that is has already been loaded, then it will continue
and search for the nls list which is not yet finished from first module init.
This fails resulting in not mounting sd card.

"rmmod OUT_OF_TREE_MODULE" was not working, because module is not in depmod file.
In general, rmmod doesn't need scanning, it simply unloads every argv[i].

"modprobe -r MODNAME", after it found the full module pathname,
should strip dirpath before trying to remove the module.

Closes 627 and 7034.
Commonly seen case is (un)loading of an alias
which matches ata_generic and a more specific ata module.
For example:
modprobe [-r] pci:v00008086d00007010sv00000000sd00000000bc01sc01i80
(ata_generic and pata_acpi)
modprobe [-r] pci:v00001106d00000571sv00001509sd00009022bc01sc01i8a
(ata_generic and pata_via)

only form is adjusted (article, space between "GPL" and "v2" and so on).

a bug where it underflows the string
a bug where it never frees parser_t struct
make read_config() return 0 if parser is NULL,
make config_close() accept and ignore NULL parser -
eliminates many if() blocks
reverse the sense of parser bit flags - negative flags
are harder to grok.
hexdump: revert the change to use config parser, it is BIGGER
and also requires additional quirks in parser
*: explicitly use PARSER_NORMAL instead of 0
