[PATCH .36-rc8] a.out: Fix module build failure

[Ingo Molnar]

The recent aout fix causes a modular build failure on x86 
(allmodconfig):

ERROR: "dump_seek" [fs/binfmt_aout.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "dump_write" [fs/binfmt_aout.ko] undefined!

Export these symbols.

Yeah, Tetsuo Handa reported the same.

I pushed out a fix - obviously pretty much the same as yours - except
that I don't think it is worth the _GPL thing (that wasn't how it
worked before, and the other binfmt-related functions are just regular
EXPORT_SYMBOL's too).
