mm: export symbol mmput_async 

maillist inclusion
category: feature
bugzilla: 51855
CVE: NA

Reference: https://jpbrucker.net/git/linux/commit/?h=sva/2021-03-01&id=5207d639ca92f1e9aad02023fedaaafb3b91708d



---------------------------------------------

In some cases releasing a mm bound to a device might invoke an exit
handler, that takes a lock already held by the function calling mmput().
This is the case for VFIO, which needs to call mmput_async to avoid a
deadlock. Other drivers using SVA might follow. Since they can be built as
modules, export the mmput_async symbol.
