modpost: avoid using the alias attribute
Aiden Leong reported modpost fails to build on macOS since commit 16a473f6 ("modpost: inform compilers that fatal() never returns"): scripts/mod/modpost.c:93:21: error: aliases are not supported on darwin Nathan's research indicates that Darwin seems to support weak aliases at least [1]. Although the situation might be improved in future Clang versions, we can achieve a similar outcome without relying on it. This commit makes fatal() a macro of error() + exit(1) in modpost.h, as compilers recognize that exit() never returns.
