In order to support filehandle lookup in filesystems with internal

This can be done with the function lookup_mnt(), so export that to make
it available.
IMO having exportfs modular is wrong - note that fs/fhandle.c is
	* calling functions in exportfs
	* non-modular
	* ... and not going to be modular, no matter what - there
are syscalls in it.
