[oe] patch for compcache recipe

[Ming Chow 周明]

Signed-off-by: Zhou Ming <chow.ming at linuxbj.com>

I have renewed the patch looks like:

- added the checksum entry
- use kernel-module-compcache as the package name which results throwing 
out packages like "kernel-module-compcache_0.6pre3-r41.3_beagleboard.ipk"
- use compcache-utils as the tool package name which looks like 
"compcache-utils_0.6pre3-r41.3_beagleboard.ipk"
