modpost: fix tee MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE built on big-endian host


When MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, ) is built on a host with a different
endianness from the target architecture, it results in an incorrect
MODULE_ALIAS().

For example, see a case where drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.c
is built as a module for ARM little-endian.

If you build it on a little-endian host, you will get the correct
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("tee:ab7a617c-b8e7-4d8f-8301-d09b61036b64*");

However, if you build it on a big-endian host, you will get a wrong
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("tee:646b0361-9bd0-0183-8f4d-e7b87c617aab*");

The same problem also occurs when you enable CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN,
and build it on a little-endian host.

This issue has been unnoticed because the ARM kernel is configured for
little-endian by default, and most likely built on a little-endian host
(cross-build on x86 or native-build on ARM).

The uuid field must not be reversed because uuid_t is an array of __u8.
