What happened in this patch is that I moved a function from iwlcore to
iwlagn. This function, while in iwlcore, had access to all the symbols
in iwlcore. Now that I moved the function to iwlagn I needed to make
sure all symbols needed by it was available. This resulted in me
exporting iwl_calib_free_results and iwl_init_scan_params since they are
in iwlcore and are now called by this function in iwlagn.
