PATCH 1/1 kallsyms: fix sparc gibberish

This one liner fixes the bug of using ".word" to represent 16 bits quantities, that made kallsyms produce gibberish on sparc.

Although it works on almost every platform except sparc, it should really use ".short" or ".hword" to represent 16 bits on any platform.

Please apply,
