kmod: add patch to fix build failure with old gcc versions

When building with old gcc versions (such as gcc 4.3), the current
version of kmod fails with:

shared/util.c:52: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'do'
shared/util.c:52: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'while'

This is due to a use of the internal assert_cc() macro outside of a
function, while this macro is defined for old gcc versions in a way that
cannot be used outside functions.

This wasn't noticed by the autobuilders because we don't have such old
target compilers. On the host side, we have some autobuilder instances
with such old gcc versions, but host-kmod is only used by the linux
package, which is never tested by the autobuilders.

+Subject: [PATCH] shared/util.c: assert_cc() can only be used inside functions
+
+shared/macro.h has two versions of assert_cc, one that uses gcc
+_Static_assert(), which requires recent enough gcc versions, and one
+that uses a fake array to trigger a build error. The latter can only
+work inside functions, so assert_cc() should only be used inside
+functions.
+
+Fixes the following build failure when building kmod with old gcc
+versions such as gcc 4.3.x:
+
+shared/util.c:52: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'do'
+shared/util.c:52: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'while'
