netpoll: export refill_skbs(), refill_skbs_work_handler(), skb_pool_flush()

Browse source

These three helpers manage the per-netpoll fallback skb pool. They
are file-static today because all of their callers live in
net/core/netpoll.c. Subsequent patches relocate the pool's owner
from struct netpoll to the only consumer that actually uses it
(netconsole), and that work needs netconsole to drive the helpers
directly while the function bodies still live here.

Drop static, add prototypes in <linux/netpoll.h>, and
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() each. No behaviour change.

The exports are transitional. Each helper is moved into
drivers/net/netconsole.c later in this series, and at that point
its EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and prototype are dropped. By the end of
the series no symbol introduced here remains exported.

The goal of this patch is to make the subsequente patches easy to
review.
