I'm submitting this patch that adds the required exports (so that we could
use __copy_from_user_flushcache on x86, arm64 and powerpc). Please, queue
it for the next merge window.
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>
Export the symbols __copy_user_flushcache and __copy_from_user_flushcache,
so that modules can use this functionality.
