[PATCH v4 3/6] gpu: nova-core: export Rust symbols for nova-drm

[Alexandre Courbot]

Export nova-core's Rust symbols so nova-drm can resolve references to it
when loaded as a module.

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

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