[PATCH] crypto: aesni-intel: fix crypto_fpu_exit() section mismatch

From: Jeremiah Mahler
Date: Sat Jun 13 2015 - 00:57:38 EST


The '__init aesni_init()' function calls the '__exit crypto_fpu_exit()'
function directly. Since they are in different sections, this generates
a warning.

make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y
...
WARNING: arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.o(.init.text+0x12b): Section
mismatch in reference from the function init_module() to the function
.exit.text:crypto_fpu_exit()
The function __init init_module() references
a function __exit crypto_fpu_exit().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of
crypto_fpu_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section.

Fix the warning by removing the __exit annotation.
