[PATCH RFC V10 3/7] mm/mempolicy: Export memory policy symbols

KVM guest_memfd wants to implement support for NUMA policies just like
shmem already does using the shared policy infrastructure. As
guest_memfd currently resides in KVM module code, we have to export the
relevant symbols.
In the future, guest_memfd might be moved to core-mm, at which point the
symbols no longer would have to be exported. When/if that happens is
still unclear.
