Subject: [PATCH] x86/paravirt: make BUG_func() usable by non-GPL modules

Several inlined functions subject to paravirt patching are referencing
BUG_func() since the recent switch to the alternative patching
mechanism.

As those functions can legally be used by non-GPL modules, BUG_func()
must be usable by those modules, too. So don't use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
for exporting BUG_func().

Fixes: 9824b00c2b58 ("x86/paravirt: Move some functions and defines to alternative.c")
