When a static function is annotated with INDIRECT_CALLABLE_SCOPE and
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set, the static keyword is removed. Sometimes the
function needs to be exported but EXPORT_SYMBOL can't be used because if
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is not set, we will attempt to export a static symbol.
This patch introduces a new indirect call wrapper:
EXPORT_INDIRECT_CALLABLE. This basically does EXPORT_SYMBOL when
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is set, but does nothing when it's not.

This commit fixes the errores reported when building for powerpc:
ERROR: modpost: "ip6_dst_check" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL
ERROR: modpost: "ipv4_dst_check" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL
ERROR: modpost: "ipv4_mtu" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL
ERROR: modpost: "ip6_mtu" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL
