[PATCH 3.13 083/172] export: declare ksymtab symbols

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 7b4ec8dd7d4ac467e9eee4d49f2c9574d773efbb upstream.

sparse complains about any __ksymtab symbols with the following:

 warning: symbol '__ksymtab_...' was not declared. Should it be static?

due to Andi's patch making it non-static.

Mollify sparse by declaring the symbol extern, otherwise we get
drowned in sparse warnings for anything that uses EXPORT_SYMBOL
in the sources, making it easy to miss real warnings.

Fixes: e0f244c63fc9 ("asmlinkage, module: Make ksymtab [...] __visible")
