Patch to fix hardened-sources-2.6.20 compilation

I guess that it was simply forgotten to export the corresponding symbol in the grsecurity patch (although I do not understand why it might compile for anybody in this case). The attached patch exports the corresponding symbol. The patch is against the fully installed hardened-sources.

This should be fixed with 2.6.20-r1 in the tree.
