exceptions: fork exception table content from module.h into extable.h For historical reasons (i.e. pre-git) the exception table stuff was buried in the middle of the module.h file. I noticed this while doing an audit for needless includes of module.h and found core kernel files (both arch specific and arch independent) were just including module.h for this. The converse is also true, in that conventional drivers, be they for filesystems or actual hardware peripherals or similar, do not normally care about the exception tables. Here we fork the exception table content out of module.h into a new file called extable.h -- and temporarily include it into the module.h itself. Then we will work our way across the arch independent and arch specific files needing just exception table content, and move them off module.h and onto extable.h Once that is done, we can remove the extable.h from module.h and in doing it like this, we avoid introducing build failures into the git history. The gain here is that module.h gets a bit smaller, across all modular drivers that we build for allmodconfig. Also the core files that only need exception table stuff don't have an include of module.h that brings in lots of extra stuff and just looks generally out of place.

extable.h: add stddef.h so "NULL" definition is not implicit While not an issue now, eventually we will have independent users of the extable.h file and we will stop sourcing it via module.h header. In testing that pending work, with very sparse builds, characteristic of an "allnoconfig" on various architectures, we can sometimes hit an instance where the very basic standard definitions aren't present, resulting in: include/linux/extable.h:26:9: error: 'NULL' undeclared (first use in this function) To be clear, this isn't a regression, since currently extable.h is only used by module.h -- however, we will need this addition present before we start migrating exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h during the next release cycle.
