I was hit by some problems caused by the module namespace feature
that was merged recently. At least, the breakage of
external module builds is a fatal one. I just took a look at the code
closer, and I noticed some more issues and improvements.
I hope these patches are mostly OK.
The 4th patch might have room for argument since it is a trade-off
of "cleaner implermentation" vs "code size".

modpost: fix broken sym->namespace for external module builds
module: swap the order of symbol.namespace
module: rename __kstrtab_ns_* to __kstrtabns_* to avoid symbol
conflict

kbuild: fix build error of 'make nsdeps' in clean tree
nsdeps: fix hashbang of scripts/nsdeps
nsdeps: make generated patches independent of locale
