The function skcipher_walk_next declared as static and marked as
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. It's a bit confusing for internal function to be
exported. The area of visibility for such function is its .c file
and all other modules. Other *.c files of the same module can't use it,
despite all other modules can. Relying on the fact that this is the
internal function and it's not a crucial part of the API, the patch
just removes the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL marking of skcipher_walk_next.
