Subject: [PATCH] linux/export.h: remove unneeded .balign directive
Date: Wed,  3 Jan 2024 22:54:54 +0900
Message-Id: <20240103135454.376021-1-masahiroy@kernel.org>
Precedence: bulk
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The .export_symbol section is discarded by the linker script, hence
no alignment is needed. Simplify the code.
