Subject: CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is replaced by CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH?

I supposed CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH has been deprecated by
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH, as I found
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH in Makefile, Makefile.build and
Makefile.modpost, but not the former symbol. Moreover, setting the
symbol in .config, and followed by make oldconfig will result in the
non-debug symbol disappearing, but not the debug version. Am I
correct?

Simple error on my side.
Will fix while I touch this code for another reason.
Thanks for the report and proposed patch!
