[PATCH -mm3] x86-64: Eliminate register_die_notifier symbol exported twice

[Kevin Winchester]

register_die_notifier is exported twice, once in traps.c and once in 
x8664_ksyms.c.  This results in a warning on build.

Thanks for that.  However, I see 2 such warnings:

WARNING: vmlinux: 'register_die_notifier' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux
WARNING: vmlinux: 'strlen' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux

They're all over the place.  Some of them are due to -mm-only patches.

It's not very urgent.  Let's get Sam's stuff settled down into mainline and
get all such warnings in mainline fixed up first.  That way, people will
then know when their new patches are being bad and I'll know when -mm
patches need fixups.

Fixing warnings like this is about the extent of my kernel abilities, so I
figured I'd do it even if it isn't high priority.  I do get the strlen
warning as well, that was going to be tonight's task.

If it helps, I don't see any warnings on the -rc5 kernel.  These two are the
only ones I see.
