Subject: [PATCH 3/4] kmod: Move call_usermodehelper_fns() to .c file and unexport
it's helpers
If we move call_usermodehelper_fns() to kmod.c file and EXPORT_SYMBOL it
we can avoid exporting all it's helper functions:
call_usermodehelper_setup
call_usermodehelper_setfns
call_usermodehelper_exec
And make all of them static to kmod.c
Since the optimizer will see all these as a single call site it will inline them
inside call_usermodehelper_fns(). So we loose the call to _fns but gain 3
calls to the helpers. (Not that it matters)
