Subject: [PATCH] modpost: fix section mismatch check for exported init/exit sections

Since commit f02e8a6596b7 ("module: Sort exported symbols"),
EXPORT_SYMBOL is placed in the individual section ___ksymtab(_gpl)+<sym>
(3 leading underscores, not 2).

Since then, modpost cannot detect the bad combination of EXPORT_SYMBOL
and __init/__exit.

Fix the .fromsec to ___ksymtab*.
