Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: fix loading of modules with unresolved weak symbols

Loading of modules with unresolved weak symbols fails on MIPS
since '88173507e4fc1e7ecd111b0565e8cba0cb7dae6d'.

Modules: handle symbols that have a zero value

The module subsystem cannot handle symbols that are zero.  If symbols
are present that have a zero value then the module resolver prints out a
message that these symbols are unresolved.

We have to use IS_ERR_VALUE() to check that a symbol has been resolved
or not.
