[PATCH] modpost: remove unused Elf_Sword macro

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Tue Jul 26 2022 - 12:53:29 EST


Commit 9ad21c3f3ecf ("kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in
modpost") added Elf_Sword (in a wrong way), but did not use it at all.

BTW, the current code looks weird.

The fix for the 32-bit part would be:

Elf64_Sword --> Elf32_Sword

(weirdness in the prefix, Elf32_ vs Elf64_)

The fix for the 64-bit part would be:

Elf64_Sxword --> Elf64_Sword

(the size is different between Sword and Sxword)

Note:

Elf32_Sword == Elf64_Sword == int32_t
Elf32_Sxword == Elf64_Sxword == int64_t

Anyway, let's drop unused code instead of fixing it.
