When writing a firewire driver that doesn't deal with struct fw_device
objects (e.g. it only publishes FireWire units and doesn't subscribe to
them), you likely need to keep referenced to struct fw_card objects so
that you can send messages to other nodes. This patch moves
fw_card_put(), fw_card_get() and fw_card_release() into the public
include/linux/firewire.h header instead of drivers/firewire/core.h, and
adds EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(fw_card_release).
The firewire-sbp-target module requires these so it can keep a reference
to the fw_card object in order that it can fetch ORBs to execute and
read/write related data and status information.
