module: remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL*

Browse Source 
EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL* is not actually used anywhere.  Remove the
unused functionality as we generally just remove unused code anyway.

help
Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
your module is.

The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
