Although the situation might be improved in future Clang versions, we can achieve a similar outcome without relying on it. This commit makes fatal() a macro of error() + exit(1) in modpost.h, as compilers recognize that exit() never returns.

Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost: unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a warning: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown) WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references section ".ltext" which is not in the list of authorized sections. If you're adding a new section and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the list of authorized sections to jump to on fault. This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c. The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and '.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large', which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text' and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.

And even though the kernel is built with relaxation disabled, so far a small number of R_LARCH_RELAX marker relocs are still emitted as part of la.* pseudo instructions in assembly. These two kinds of relocs do not refer to symbols, which can trip up modpost's section mismatch checks, because the r_offset of said relocs can be zero or any other meaningless value, eventually leading to a `from == NULL` condition in default_mismatch_handler and SIGSEGV. As the two kinds of relocs are not concerned with symbols, just ignore them for section mismatch check purposes.
