[PATCH v9 00/11] Unify <linux/export.h> and <asm/export.h>, remove EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL(), faster TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS

[Masahiro Yamada]

My goals:

 - Refactors EXPORT_SYMBOL, <linux/export.h> and <asm/export.h>.
   You can still put EXPORT_SYMBOL() in *.S file, very close to the definition,
   but you do not need to care about whether it is a function or a data.
   This removes EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL().

 - Re-implement TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in one-pass.
   This makes the building faster.

 - Move the static EXPORT_SYMBOL check to modpost.
   This also makes the building faster.

This patch set is applicable to linux-next 20230609.
