Subject: sched: exporting linux-rt migrate_disable for ZFS

Greetings!

(If you are receiving this again, that's because I'm sending from
another domain since my message from @gmx.fr was not forwarded to the
lists.)

With sched-Add-migrate_disable.patch first released in v5.9-rc8-rt14 [1]
linux-rt defines functions migrate_disable and migrate_enable.
They are used in linux headers in various macros and static inline
functions, and in particular in kmap_atomic and kunmap_atomic.
The latter are needed by ZFS which currently fails to build against
5.9-rt [2] because these functions are exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
Could you export them with EXPORT_SYMBOL instead?

I have checked that ZFS 2.0.0 builds and works with 5.9.1-rt20 (with
an additional fix [3]) with this patch:
