These functions get deleted in a following patch once everything can
be switched to ops->get_port_groups(), which provides even less
flexability for the driver to do things wrong.

The whole subsystem already uses !GPL export so it is very strange to
see a GPL symbol at all:

$ git grep EXPORT_SYMBOL\( drivers/infiniband/core/ | wc -l
310
$ git grep EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL\( drivers/infiniband/core/ | wc -l
1

Anyhow, if it makes you happy I'll change it.
