mm: export mmu notifier invalidates
We at SGI have a need to address some very high physical address ranges with our GRU (global reference unit), sometimes across partitioned machine boundaries and sometimes with larger addresses than the cpu supports. We do this with the aid of our own 'extended vma' module which mimics the vma. When something (either unmap or exit) frees an 'extended vma' we use the mmu notifiers to clean them up. We had been able to mimic the functions __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() and __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() by locking the per-mm lock and walking the per-mm notifier list. But with the change to a global srcu lock (static in mmu_notifier.c) we can no longer do that. Our module has no access to that lock. So we request that these two functions be exported.
