    [MTD] Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for exported symbols.
    
    While we're fixing up the newly-added symbol, change the neighbouring ones
    too, for consistency and also to reflect the author's interpretation of
    the GPL -- which is that _no_ non-GPL modules are permitted. The author
    always intended his code to be released under the GPL, and believes that
    any new interpretation of 'EXPORT_SYMBOL' as being any different from
    'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL' is entirely invalid; the GPL requires that _all_
    exports have the semantics of the new 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL', which means the
    extra four characters are entirely redundant.
    
    But since those four extra characters trigger the check for illegal
    modules in a way that just EXPORT_SYMBOL does not, it's useful to change
    anyway. This action in no way indicates an admission that there is any
    legal distinction between the two states, and in particular does not
    indicate that the author believes that non-GPL modules may use symbols
    exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL alone.
