Subject[PATCH] extable: Skip sorting if the table is empty
At least on ARM no-MMU the extable is empty and so there is nothing to
sort. So add a check for the table to be empty which effectively only
changes that the misleading pr_notice is suppressed.

Hello,

I first tried to select BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT for ARM no-MMU, too, but that
failed to build with

no __ex_table in file: vmlinux

. I didn't dig deeper for the reasons, but maybe this is worth fixing, too?

Best regards
Uwe
