With commit 1743694eb235 ("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 this useless function. This makes further cleanups possible.
