With this patch, 21.3 does not fail when loading a HEAD-compiled mode
defined with `define-derived-mode'.

Still, it does not "work", so to speak.

As a simple example:

# .emacs contains:
(load "font-lock")
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(autoload 'test-mode "test-mode")

# test-mode.el contains:
(define-derived-mode test-mode emacs-lisp-mode "Test Mode"
  "Test mode derived from emacs-lisp-mode.")

# test.el contains:
# -*- mode: test-mode -*-

Case 1:
 - compile test-mode.el with 21.3
 - start 21.3
 - load test.el

The comment in test.el is font-locked.

Case 2:
 - compile test-mode.el with HEAD
 - start 21.3
 - load test.el

The comment in test.el is not font-locked.
