Subject: EXPORT_SYMBOL(d_obtain_alias) rather than EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
From: Benny Halevy <bhalevy@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Commit 4ea3ada2955e4519befa98ff55dd62d6dfbd1705 declares d_obtain_alias()
as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL where it's supposed to replace d_alloc_anon which was
previously declared as EXPORT_SYMBOL and thus available to any loadable
module.
This patch reverts that.
