modpost: add flag -E for making section mismatches fatal
The section mismatch warning can be easy to miss during the kernel build process. Allow it to be marked as fatal to be easily caught and prevent bugs from slipping in. Setting CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y causes these warnings to be non-fatal, since there are a number of section mismatches when using allmodconfig on some architectures, and we do not want to break these builds by default.
