Thanks for the fix, but Arnd reported that this fix could cause a link
issue in some configuration - I did not verify.

I would much rather turn EXPORTFS into a bool config
and avoid the unneeded build test matrix.

See comparison to the amount of code of EXPORTFS
to BUFFER_HEAD and FS_IOMAP code which are bool:

~/src/linux$ wc -l fs/exportfs/*.c
636 fs/exportfs/expfs.c

~/src/linux$ wc -l fs/buffer.c fs/mpage.c
  3164 fs/buffer.c
   685 fs/mpage.c
  3849 total

~/src/linux$ wc -l fs/iomap/*.c
 2002 fs/iomap/buffered-io.c
  754 fs/iomap/direct-io.c
  124 fs/iomap/fiemap.c
   97 fs/iomap/iter.c
  104 fs/iomap/seek.c
  195 fs/iomap/swapfile.c
   13 fs/iomap/trace.c
 3289 total

Thanks,
Amir.
