Subject: sysfs: symlink: export sysfs_create_link_nowarn()
From: Grygorii Strashko <grygorii.strashko@xxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 2399ac42e762ab25c58420e25359b2921afdc55f ]
The sysfs_create_link_nowarn() is going to be used in phylib framework in
subsequent patch which can be built as module. Hence, export
sysfs_create_link_nowarn() to avoid build errors.
