kmodloader: Check module endian before loading

If we manage to accidentally get a module installed that does not match
the system endianess (there is currently nothing preventing that in
OpenWrt/LEDE) we will hit a segmentation fault when doing this:

sh = (Elf32_Shdr *) (map + e->e_shoff);

because e->e_shoff will be wrongly encoded and this most likely will
result in an invalid offset to de-reference from.

Update elf_find_section() to check that the build time endianess of
kmodloader matches that of the module, otherwise nothing would work
really.
