modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfs
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module this kernel "badness warning": sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text' Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487 Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple .text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform. An objdump on such a kernel module gives: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 1 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 3 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000...
