Subject: Adding the type of exported symbols
From: Nagarathnam Muthusamy <nagarathnam.muthusamy@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f5a651f1d5e524cab345250a783702fb6a3f14d6 ]
Missing symbol type for few functions prevents genksyms from generating
symbol versions for those functions. This patch fixes them.
