[PATCH] sched: Fix tracepoint called from set_tsk_need_resched() more

[Phil Auld]

This raw tracepoint is added to set_tsk_need_resched() which introduces
two symbols which were then exported GPL-only. While generally better
to add new symbols GPL-only, set_tsk_need_resched() is called from places
that are exported without that restriction. This includes things like
wake_up_process(). Export these new symbols without the added restriction.

Fixes: 8d737320166b ("sched: Fix build for modules using set_tsk_need_resched()")
Fixes: 6c125b85f3c8 ("sched: Export hidden tracepoints to modules")
Fixes: adcc3bfa8806 ("sched: Adapt sched tracepoints for RV task model")

Apologies for being so late in looking at this, but it sounds good to
me.
