Rusty and ohers: it looks like both CONFIG_CRC32 and
CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32 can be compiled as module, and they generate
modules with the same name, crc32.  Could that be fixed?

Gah.  Looks like it's been that way since at least 2014, too.

I think we could rename it to crypto_crc32, but I don't think it's the
only one.  Marco, I think depmod should probably FAIL if two modules
have the same name, which would at least find such problems.

Yes, I'll do that on kmod, but we need to pay attention to 2 things:

  - It's possible 2 modules with the same names if they come from
different locations (with different priorities)
  - It doesn't fix the case in which one is a module and the other is
builtin. We could still have problem with such a scenario, like was
pointed out in this bug report to kmod.
