It's probably worth saying:

| The ex_handler_t type was introduced in commit:
|
| d6e2cc5647753825 ("arm64: extable: add `type` and `data` fields")
|
| ... but has never been used, and is unnecessary. Remove it.

... as this was a leftover from a prior version of that patch, and in
the form merged in mainline it was redundant becuase we moved to using
an enumerated type rather than a function pointer in the ex_table_entry.
