Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely
are not available when the code is built-in.
There are few creative offenders uncovered for example in ARCH=amd64
allmodconfig builds. So only trigger the section mismatch warning for
W=1 builds.
The dual rule that drivers must not reference .init.* is implemented
since commit
0db252452378 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference
.init.*") which however missed that .exit.* should be handled in the
same way.
Thanks to Masahiro Yamada and Arnd Bergmann who gave valuable hints to
find this improvement.
