The comment mentions it creates autoksyms.h in case it is missing, but the actual code touches it when it does exists. The build system creates it anyway because <linux/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> need it. The code would not have worked as intended, and people have not noticed it. This is a proof that we can simply remove it.
