modules: Add missing entry for __ex_table
The entry for __ex_table was missing, which may make __ex_table become 1- or 2-byte aligned in modules. Add the entry to ensure it gets 32-bit aligned. As per unaligned-memory-access [0] "unaligned memory accesses [...] will not work correctly on certain platforms and will cause performance problems on others", so fix this.
