genksyms: use uint32_t instead of unsigned long for calculating CRC

Currently, 'unsigned long' is used for intermediate variables when calculating CRCs. The size of 'long' differs depending on the architecture: it is 32 bits on 32-bit architectures and 64 bits on 64-bit architectures. The CRC values generated by genksyms represent the compatibility of exported symbols. Therefore, reproducibility is important. In other words, we need to ensure that the output is the same when the kernel source is identical, regardless of whether genksyms is running on a 32-bit or 64-bit build machine. Fortunately, the output from genksyms is not affected by the build machine's architecture because only the lower 32 bits of the 'unsigned long' variables are used. To make it even clearer that the CRC calculation is independent of the build machine's architecture, this commit explicitly uses the fixed-width type, uint32_t.
