Another issue with <linux/export.h> is that it is sometimes included
even when EXPORT_SYMBOL() is not used at all.
Some headers (e.g. include/linux/linkage.h>) cannot be fixed for now
for the reason described in the previous commit.
This commit adds a warning for *.c files that include <linux/export.h>
but do not use EXPORT_SYMBOL() when the kernel is built with W=1.

The problem was described in commit 5b20755b77 ("init: move THIS_MODULE
from <linux/export.h> to <linux/init.h>").
To summarize it again here: <linux/export.h> is included by most C files,
even though only some of them actually export symbols. This is because
some headers, such as include/linux/{module.h,linkage}, needlessly
include <linux/export.h>.
I have added a more detailed explanation in the comments of
scripts/misc-check.
This problem will be fixed in two steps:
1. Add #include <linux/export.h> directly to C files that use
EXPORT_SYMBOL()
2. Remove #include <linux/export.h> from header files that do not use
EXPORT_SYMBOL()
This commit addresses step 1; scripts/misc-check will warn about *.[ch]
files that use EXPORT_SYMBOL() but do not include <linux/export.h>.
This check is only triggered when the kernel is built with W=1.
We need to fix 4000+ files. I hope others will help with this effort.

This script is executed only when ${KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN} contains 1.
Move this check to the top-level Makefile to allow more checks to be
easily added to this script.

The top .gitignore comments about how to detect files breaking
.gitignore rules, but people rarely care about it.
Add a new W=1 warning to detect files that are tracked but ignored by
git. If git is not installed or the source tree is not tracked by git
at all, this script does not print anything.
Running it on v6.2-rc1 detected the following:
$ make W=1 misc-check
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/.yamllint: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
drivers/clk/.kunitconfig: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files

tools/testing/selftests/arm64/tags/tags_test.c: warning: ignored by one of the .gitignore files
These are ignored by the '.*' or 'tags' in the top .gitignore, but
there is no rule to negate it.
You might be tempted to do 'git add -f' but I want to have the real
issue fixed (by fixing a .gitignore, or by renaming files, etc.).
