Yep. The export is missing. Attached patch was build-tested for a
Malta config with ext4 enabled as a module.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [MIPS] Export empty_zero_page as a GPL symbol

The empty_zero_page symbol is needed for the ext4 driver and
should therefore be exported. This fixes the following error

MODPOST 1516 modules
ERROR: "empty_zero_page" [fs/ext4/ext4dev.ko] undefined!
