[PATCH/RFC] signal: Export signal_wake_up_state() to modules

[Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas-gXvu3+zWzMSzQB+pC5nmwQ@public.gmane.org>]

When using signal_wake_up() from a loadable kernel module:

    ERROR: "signal_wake_up_state" [drivers/spi/spi-sh-msiof.ko] undefined!

Export signal_wake_up_state() to modules to fix this.

I'm using signal_wake_up() to abort a task blocked on
wait_for_completion_interruptible(), cfr. sh_msiof_slave_abort() in
"spi: sh-msiof: Add slave mode support"
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg175575.html).

Is exporting signal_wake_up_state() an acceptable solution?
Alternatively, I can extract the code to abort an completion into a
generic abort_completion() function, and export that.

Or is there a better way to abort a completion?

Thanks!
