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.
