[PATCH 01/10] exportfs: add module description

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Every loadable module should have a description, to avoid a warning such as:

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in fs/exportfs/exportfs.o

I've removed mentioning of NFS from the module description because
exportfs is now used for a lot more.
