knfsd: exportfs: add exportfs.h header
currently the export_operation structure and helpers related to it are in
fs.h. fs.h is already far too large and there are very few places needing the
export bits, so split them off into a separate header.

The remainder, termed - * a file handle fragment, is controlled completely by the filesystem. The - * standard helper routines assume that this fragment will contain one or - * two sub-fragments, one which identifies the file, and one which may be - * used to identify the (a) directory containing the file. - * - * In some situations, nfsd needs to get a dentry which is connected into a - * specific part of the file tree. To allow for this, it passes the - * function acceptable() together with a @context which can be used to see - * if the dentry is acceptable.
