The EXPORT_SYMBOL is only needed if this symbol is to be referred to
from a different module.  That isn't the case here - everything which
refers to ocfs2_kset is linked into ocfs2.ko, correct?

This was easy to review, though you might consider adding a note that we're
exporting this because it's built in ocfs2_stackglue.ko.
