[PATCH 5/8] export.h: remove code for prefixing symbols with underscore

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Wed May 09 2018 - 03:26:33 EST


CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX was selected by BLACKFIN, METAG.
They were removed by commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch: remove blackfin port"),
commit bb6fb6dfcc17 ("metag: Remove arch/metag/"), respectively.

No more architecture enables CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
Clean up the export.h headers. I am keeping VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and
VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR() because they are widely used.
