modpost: remove useless export_from_sec()
With commit 1743694e ("modpost: stop symbol preloading for modversion CRC") applied, now export_from_sec() is useless. handle_symbol() is called for every symbol in the ELF. When 'symname' does not start with "__ksymtab", export_from_sec() is called, and the returned value is stored in 'export'. It is used in the last part of handle_symbol(): if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_")) { name = symname + strlen("__ksymtab_"); sym_add_exported(name, mod, export); } 'export' is used only when 'symname' starts with "__ksymtab_". So, the value returned by export_from_sec() is never used. Remove useless export_from_sec(). This makes further cleanups possible. I put the temporary code: export = export_unknown; Otherwise, I would get the compiler warning: warning: 'export' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] This is apparently false positive because if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab_") ... is a stronger condition than: if (strstarts(symname, "__ksymtab") Anyway, this part will be cleaned up by the next commit.
