Vmware-modules-279.6 patch for the 4.2 kernel

The kernel API changed again for kernel 4.2, but here are some patches that apply to correct the issues and should also work when building against older kernels (although I haven't tested this yet).

This applies cleanly as a user patch (/etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules/) to the 279.6 ebuild.

Patch added. Can't test it myself, so trusting you with this.
