Subject: [PATCH 5/5] modpost: turn section mismatches to error from fatal()

There is code that reports static EXPORT_SYMBOL a few lines below.
It is not a good idea to bail out here.

I renamed sec_mismatch_fatal to sec_mismatch_warn_only (with logical
inversion) to match to CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY.
