Note that those syscalls depend on CONFIG_FHANDLE and the latter
selects EXPORTFS.

Nevertheless, the EXPORTFS=m config seems useless.
I will send a patch to change it.

The bigger issue is that so many of the filesystems that use the
generic export ops do not select EXPORTFS, so it's easier to
leave the generic helper in libfs.c as Arnd suggested.

Thanks,
