readykernel: export symbols to be able to livepatch kfree/kvfree replacement
We can't just use normal readykernel patching for kfree/kvfree, as the
counterpart with kmalloc/kvmalloc might've allocated non-continious
memory and that memory should not be freed with kfree even after
readykernel patch was unloaded.
So the idea is to make the kfree/kvfree change permanent. For that we
need to export: kallsyms_lookup_name, set_memory_ro, set_memory_rw,
find_module and copy_to_kernel_nofault. So let's export them to be able
to do this trick in future.
See prototype implementation here:
https://bitbucket.org/openvz/kpatch/branch/vz9-fuse_kio_pcs-kvfree-prototype
85fc534 ("fuse_kio_pcs: Permanently replace kfree with kvfree in
pcs_umem_release")
874c2a8 ("Add kpatch_replace_call helper to manualy replace kernel function
calls")
