Subject: [PATCH 10/10] module: fix is_exported() to return true for all types of exports

/proc/kallsyms annotates module symbols as global (e.g. 'D' for a data
symbol) or local (e.g. 'd'), depending on whether is_exported() returns
true or false.

Historically, is_exported() only returns true if the symbol was exported
using EXPORT_SYMBOL(). EXPORT_SYMBOL_UNUSED(), for example, is not taken
into account. This looks like an oversight, so let's fix it.
