Linus found a logic bug: we ignore the version number in a module's
vermagic string if we have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set, but modversions
also lets through a module with no __versions section for modprobe
--force (with tainting, but still).

We should only ignore the start of the vermagic string if the module
actually *has* crcs to check.  Rather than (say) having an
entertaining hissy fit and creating a config option to work around the
buggy code.
