modpost: improve error messages in device_id_check()

The first error message in device_id_check() is obscure and can be
misleading because the cause of the error is unlikely to be found in
the struct definition in mod_devicetable.h.

This type of error occurs when an array is passed to an incorrect type
of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().

[Example 1]

    static const struct acpi_device_id foo_ids[] = {
            { "FOO" },
            { /* sentinel */ },
    };
    MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, foo_ids);

Currently, modpost outputs a meaningless suggestion:

    ERROR: modpost: ...: sizeof(struct of_device_id)=200 is not a modulo of the size of section __mod_device_table__of__<identifier>=64.
    Fix definition of struct of_device_id in mod_devicetable.h

The root cause here is that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...) is used instead
of the correct MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, ...).

This commit provides a more intuitive error message:

    ERROR: modpost: ...: type mismatch between foo_ids[] and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...)

The second error message, related to a missing terminator, is too
verbose.

[Example 2]

    static const struct acpi_device_id foo_ids[] = {
            { "FOO" },
    };
    MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, foo_ids);

The current error message is overly long, and does not pinpoint the
incorrect array:

    ...: struct acpi_device_id is 32 bytes.  The last of 1 is:
    0x46 0x4f 0x4f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
    ERROR: modpost: ...: struct acpi_device_id is not terminated with a NULL entry!

This commit changes it to a more concise error message, sufficient to
identify the incorrect array:

    ERROR: modpost: ...: foo_ids[] is not terminated with a NULL entry

Lastly, this commit squashes device_id_check() into do_table() and
changes fatal() into error(), allowing modpost to continue processing
other modules.
