For several years, the pattern "foo$" has effectively been treated as
equivalent to "foo" due to a bug in the (misnamed) helper
number_prefix(). This hasn't been observed to cause any problems, so
remove the broken $ functionality and change all foo$ patterns to foo.

The scripts/mod/modpost.c triggers the following warning:

scripts/mod/modpost.c: In function ‘remove_dot’:
scripts/mod/modpost.c:1710:10: warning: ignoring return value of ‘strtoul’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]

The remove_dot function that calls strtoul does not care about the
numeric value of the string that is parsed but only looks for the
end of the numeric sequence.  As such, it's equivalent to just skip
over all digits.

Pull kbuild misc updates from Michal Marek:
 "This is the non-critical part of kbuild for v3.16-rc1:
   - make deb-pkg can do s390x and arm64
   - new patterns in scripts/tags.sh
   - scripts/tags.sh skips userspace tools' sources (which sometimes
     have copies of kernel structures) and symlinks
   - improvements to the objdiff tool
   - two new coccinelle patches
   - other minor fixes"

* 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
  scripts: objdiff: support directories for the augument of record command
  scripts: objdiff: fix a comment
  scripts: objdiff: change the extension of disassembly from .o to .dis
  scripts: objdiff: improve path flexibility for record command
  scripts: objdiff: remove unnecessary code
  scripts: objdiff: direct error messages to stderr
  scripts: objdiff: get the path to .tmp_objdiff more simply
  deb-pkg: Add automatic support for s390x architecture
  coccicheck: Add unneeded return variable test
  kbuild: Fix a typo in documentation
  kbuild: trivial - use tabs for code indent where possible
  kbuild: trivial - remove trailing empty lines
  coccinelle: Check for missing NULL terminators in of_device_id tables
  scripts/tags.sh: ignore symlink'ed source files
  scripts/tags.sh: add regular expression replacement pattern for memcg
