[PATCH v3 02/15] modpost: change the license of EXPORT_SYMBOL to bool type

[Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>]

Currently, enum export is tristate, but export_unknown does not make
sense in any way.

If the symbol name starts with "__ksymtab_", but the section name
does not start with "___ksymtab+" or "___ksymtab_gpl+", it is not
an exported symbol. The variable name just happens to start with
"__ksymtab_". Do not call sym_add_exported() in this case.

__ksymtab_* is internally by EXPORT_SYMBOL(_GPL) but somebody may
directly define a global variable with a such name, like this:

   int __ksymtab_foo;

Presumably, there is no practical issue for this, but there is no good
reason to use such a weird name.

This commit adds a new warning for such a case:

    WARNING: modpost: __ksymtab_foo: Please consider renaming. Variables starting with "__ksymtab_" is for internal use.

With pointless export_unknown removed, the license type of exported
symbols is boolean (EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL).

I renamed the field name to is_gpl_only. If it is true, only GPL-compat
modules can use it.
