[PATCH 1/2] arm64/mm: Export contpte symbols only to GPL users

The contpte symbols must be exported since some of the public inline
ptep_* APIs are called from modules and these inlines now call the
contpte functions. Originally they were exported as EXPORT_SYMBOL() for
fear of breaking out-of-tree modules. But we subsequently concluded that
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() should be safe since these functions are deeply core
mm routines, and any module operating at this level is not going to be
able to survive on EXPORT_SYMBOL alone.
