[PATCH v3 2/5] gpu: nova-core: export Rust symbols for dependent modules

[Alexandre Courbot]

Export `nova-core`'s Rust symbols so that other loadable modules,
particularly `nova-drm`, can resolve references to `nova-core` at
runtime.

This is done by generating declarations and `EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()` calls
for Rust global text symbols using `nm` and compiling them into the
module as `nova_core_exports.o`.

This is a workaround until the build system supports Rust cross-crate
dependencies natively.
