[PATCH] staging: lustre: linux-prim.c: fix sparse warnings about static declaration

[Serguey Parkhomovsky]

Fixes the following sparse warnings:

drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/libcfs/linux/linux-prim.c:198:1: warning: symbol 'libcfs_arch_init' was not declared. Should it be static?
drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/libcfs/linux/linux-prim.c:204:1: warning: symbol 'libcfs_arch_cleanup' was not declared. Should it be static?

If you look at the source code just below these functions you will find:

EXPORT_SYMBOL(libcfs_arch_init);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(libcfs_arch_cleanup);

So making these static is incorrect because they are being used outside
of this file.

Thanks for the review, and sorry about the noise; I'll be more careful next time.

these tools are there to help you find the problems in the code.but after that we need to use our own judgement to decide.
in this case the solution is to declare them in libcfs.h

and please atleast buildtest your patch before sending. If you would have compiled this patch then you could have seen 2 new warnings:
"WARNING: "libcfs_arch_init" [drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/libcfs/libcfs.ko] undefined!"
"WARNING: "libcfs_arch_cleanup" [drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/libcfs/libcfs.ko] undefined!"
