The symbol was introduced with v30, yet was erroneously added in the v5
section. Move it to the correct place.
In theory this might cause an issue - severity depends on how the
runtime linker is setup. From a harmless warning (on stderr/stdout) to
failure to load the library.
In practise this shouldn't be a problem, since there are seemingly no
external users of the API.

I'm fairly confident this commit won't cause an issue, although auditing
the whole internet is not possible in practise. In my search I checked
through Google, Github and all Arch packages using libkmod, namely:
- dracut
- igt-gpu-tools
- libblockdev
- ndctl
- open-scsi
- pciutils
- stress-ng
- systemd
Another option is to make the symbol as internal, since it's used solely
by modinfo which static links libkmod.
...we could also leave things as-is.
I think it's better to handle this as an issue and let it propagate
through distros.
