Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: Export some symbols without GPL

Some symbols, i.e., vm_map_base, empty_zero_page and invalid_pmd_table,
could be accessed widely by some out-of-tree non-GPL but important file
systems or drivers (e.g., OpenZFS). Let's use EXPORT_SYMBOL() instead of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to export them, so as to avoid build errors.

Details about vm_map_base: may be referenced through macros PCI_IOBASE,
VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END.
