Chad Williamson cadf87a090 Staging: silicom: move symbol exports beneath definitions in bpctl_mod.c

Move the EXPORT_SYMBOL macros in bpctl_mod.c beneath the definitions
they refer to, resolving checkpatch.pl warnings. While we're at it, use
EXPORT_SYMBOL rather than EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS.

Theory of Operation:

The Silicom Bypass Network Interface Cards (NICs) are network cards with paired ports (2 or 4). 
The pairs either act as a "wire" allowing the network packets to pass or insert the device in 
between the two ports.  When paired with the on-board hardware watchdog or other failsafe, 
they provide high availability for the network in the face of software outages or maintenance.

The software requirements are for a kernel level driver that interfaces with the bypass and watchdog,
as well as for control software. User control can be either the provided standalone executable 
(/bin/bpctl) or the API exposed by the Silicom library.
