Subject: [PATCH] xfrm4: Remove export declaration from xfrm4_protocol_init

From: Denis Efremov <[email protected]>

The function xfrm4_protocol_init is exported as GPL symbol and
annotated as __init. That is reasonable only in the case when
this function is called from another's module __init section.
Otherwise, we will face section mismatch error. xfrm4_protocol_init
is used in xfrm4_init along with xfrm4_state_init and xfrm4_policy_init.
The last two functions are not exported as GPL symbols. According to
this, it seem's like there is no reason to export xfrm4_protocol_init too.
Fix potential section mismatch by removing export declaration
from xfrm4_protocol_init.
