Subject: [PATCH] re-export alloc_file()
Commit 3d1e4631 ("get rid of init_file()") removed the export of
alloc_file() -- possibly inadvertently, since that commit mainly
consisted of deleting the lines between the end of alloc_file() and
the start of the code in init_file().
There is in fact one modular use of alloc_file() in the tree, in
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c, so re-add the export to fix:
ERROR: "alloc_file" [drivers/infiniband/core/ib_uverbs.ko] undefined!
when CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS=m.
