Donald Dutile 1b3db8fe75 modpost: remove stale comment about sym_add_exported()
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-28063

commit 594ade3eef3f2d458902ced2cb2614dfae8558de
Author: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

    modpost: remove stale comment about sym_add_exported()

    The description,

      it may have already been added without a
      CRC, in this case just update the CRC

    ... is no longer valid.

    In the old days, this function was used to update the CRC as well.

    Commit 040fcc819a ("kbuild: improved modversioning support for
    external modules") started to use a separate function (sym_update_crc)
    for updating the CRC.

    The first part, "Add an exported symbol" is correct, but it is too
    obvious from the function name. Drop this comment entirely.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
