Make set/clear page private code shared and accessible to
other kernel modules which can re-use these instead of open-coding.

Sure, I was confused by the fact that there are only 2 functions in the file
which are exported as:
Â- EXPORT_SYMBOL(gnttab_alloc_pages);
Â- EXPORT_SYMBOL(gnttab_free_pages);
and those were the base for the new gnttab_pages_set_private/gnttab_pages_clear_private
This made me think I have to retain the same EXPORT_SYMBOL for them.
Do you want me to add one more patch into this series and change
gnttab_alloc_pages/gnttab_free_pages to GPL as well?
