Subject: [PATCH] scripts/misc-check: update export checks for
 EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES()

The module export checks are looking for EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES()
which was renamed to EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(). Update the checks.

Fixes: 6d3c3ca4c77e ("module: Rename EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES to EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES")
Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@...e.cz>

I've missed these new checks when renaming the export macro due to my
git grep being too narrow. My commit went through Christian's vfs tree
but seems the script is part of kbuild (which is currently Odd fixes).
