I remember when you showed me this patch, and it fixed a real
issue because we had the tracepoint call in smp_lock.h:

#define lock_kernel()	\
	trace_lock_kernel(__FUNC__, __FILE__, __LINE__);	\
	_lock_kernel();						\

So indeed the modules needed this missing export. But I had
to move the tracepoint calls to lib/kernel_lock.c instead,
because we had very bad headers dependencies.

So it's not needed anymore.
