module: Provide EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES() helper
[ Upstream commit 707f853d7fa3ce323a6875487890c213e34d81a0 ] Helper macro to more easily limit the export of a symbol to a given list of modules. Eg: EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES(preempt_notifier_inc, "kvm"); will limit the use of said function to kvm.ko, any other module trying to use this symbol will refure to load (and get modpost build failures).
