kernel/extable.c: use address-of operator on section symbols
stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.285 commit 85d0254e7ec88b9cf6c853d9f6ea9e3af64d7f81 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I7J5UF CVE: NA -------------------------------- commit 63174f61 upstream. Clang warns: ../kernel/extable.c:37:52: warning: array comparison always evaluates to a constant [-Wtautological-compare] if (main_extable_sort_needed && __stop___ex_table > __start___ex_table) { ^ 1 warning generated. These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just addresses. Using the address of operator silences the warning and does not change the resulting assembly with either clang/ld.lld or gcc/ld (tested with diff + objdump -Dr).
