Subject: [PATCH 3/4] platform/x86: pmc_atom: dont export pmc_atom_read - no modular users

There is only one user of pmc_atom_read in tree, and that is in
drivers/acpi/acpi_lpss.c -- which can't be anything but built-in.

As such there is no point in adding this function to the global symbol
list exported to modules.

Note that there is no <linux/export.h> include removal since the code
was getting that header implicitly.
