[PATCH] ieee80211: fix section mismatch warning

[Sam Ravnborg]

Fix the following warnings:
WARNING: net/built-in.o(.init.text+0xd6c0): Section mismatch in reference from the function ieee80211_init() to the function .exit.text:rc80211_simple_exit()
WARNING: net/built-in.o(.init.text+0xd6c5): Section mismatch in reference from the function ieee80211_init() to the function .exit.text:rc80211_pid_exit()

The fix was simple - I just did as modpost told me and removed the
wrong __exit annotation of rc80211_simple_exit and rc80211_pid_exit.

With this patch my allyesconfig build on x86 (64 bit)
is section mismatch clean in net/
