Replaces all occurences of strnicmp with strncasecmp

When compiling the ndiswrapper kernel module on kernel 4 the above error occurs. This error can easily be fixed by replacing the strnicmp function with the strncasecmp function. The attached patch does that.
It was tested on kernel 4.0.0-rc3 and seems to work fine.

For ease of integration in portage I have attached the ebuild and the patched file. Those files can be easily added to the portage tree. 

The patch comes from http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/ndiswrapper.git/tree/debian/patches/Support-kernel-4.0.patch?id=fe307aab912c55fb357670e5e838c353712a689b
