Incidentally, why is that thing exported?

Both kernel_read_file_from_fd() and kernel_read_file() are exported
because they have users, however kernel_read_file() only has security
stuff as a user. Do we want to get rid of the lsm hook for it?

Alright, yeah just the export needs to be removed. I have a patch
series dealing with these callers so will add it to my queue.

When will these changes make it into linux-next?
It is difficult for me to complete my patch series without these other 
misc. changes in place.
