cmd_update_lto_symversions merges all the existing *.symversions, but some of them might be stale. If the last EXPORT_SYMBOL is removed from a C file, the *.symversions file is not deleted or updated. It contains stale CRCs, but still they will be used for linking the vmlinux or modules. It is not a big deal when the EXPORT_SYMBOL is really removed. However, when the EXPORT_SYMBOL is moved to another file, the same __crc_<symbol> will appear twice in the merged *.symversions, possibly with different CRCs if the function argument is changed at the same time. It would confuse module versioning. If no EXPORT_SYMBOL is found, let's remove *.symversions explicitly. Signed-off-by:
