modpost: remove more symbol patterns from the section check whitelist
These symbol patterns were whitelisted to allow them to reference to functions with the old __devinit and __devexit annotations. We stopped doing this a long time ago, for example, commit 6f039790510f ("Drivers: scsi: remove __dev* attributes.") remove those annotations from the scsi drivers. Keep *_ops, *_probe, and *_console, otherwise they will really cause section mismatch warnings. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
