Please apply upstream commit 6a4e59eeedc3 ("linux/init: remove __memexit*
annotations") before this change, as there is a warning in modpost
without it:

  scripts/mod/modpost.c:916:37: warning: excess elements in array initializer [-Wexcess-initializers]
    916 |         .good_tosec = {ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS , NULL},
        |                                            ^~~~
  .../lib/clang/19/include/__stddef_null.h:26:14: note: expanded from macro 'NULL'
     26 | #define NULL ((void*)0)
        |              ^~~~~~~~~~
  1 warning generated.

It applies cleanly with 'git format-patch | patch' for me and I don't
think it is unreasonable as a fix for this issue in stable.

This will be needed in 6.1 as well but that backport is a little more
involved, I will reply there with an mbox series.

Cheers,
Nathan
