Fix grub issue with module dereferencing. From the official description
from NVD [1]:

The rmmod implementation allows the unloading of a module used as
a dependency without checking if any other dependent module is still
loaded leading to a use-after-free scenario. This could allow
arbitrary code to be executed or a bypass of Secure Boot protections.

This patch is a part of a bigger security collection for grub [2].

+Subject: [PATCH] dl: Only allow unloading modules that are not dependencies
+
+When a module is attempted to be removed its reference counter is always
+decremented. This means that repeated rmmod invocations will cause the
+module to be unloaded even if another module depends on it.
+
+This may lead to a use-after-free scenario allowing an attacker to execute
+arbitrary code and by-pass the UEFI Secure Boot protection.
+
+While being there, add the extern keyword to some function declarations in
+that header file.
