It's now used in a coresight driver that can be a loadable module:

ERROR: modpost: "this_cpu_has_cap" [drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.ko] undefined!

Will, Catalin, Mathieu,

Do you have a preference on how this fix can be pulled in ? This may
be safe to go via coresight tree if it is not too late. Otherwise,
it could go via the arm64 tree.
I think Will already closed/tagged the arm64 tree for the upcoming
merging window, though he could take it as a fix afterwards.

If it doesn't conflict with the arm64 for-next/core, it's fine by me to
go through the coresight tree.

Not sure if we actually want this to be exported, this is my local
workaround for the randconfig build bot.

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL? I think this_cpu_has_cap() is a bit more more
specialised than cpus_have_const_cap().

With that:

Yes, at this stage I think it's best for this to go via the Coresight tree.
So with the _GPL export:

If that doesn't work for some reason, I can take it next week after the
initial arm64 queue has been merged. Please just let me know.
