description:
For kernel, rename ffs to __ffssi2 rather than having a weak symbol.
This enables us to load modules depended to __ffssi2.

It is difficult to deal with weak symbols consistently in in-kernel
linker. See explanation by pgoyette on tech-kern:

    http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2020/03/09/msg026148.html

Also, we do not currently provide ffs(9) as a kernel routine.
