modules: only allow symbol_get of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL modules
It has recently come to my attention that nvidia is circumventing the
protection added in 262e6ae7081d ("modules: inherit
TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE") by importing exports from their proprietary
modules into an allegedly GPL licensed module and then rexporting them.
Given that symbol_get was only ever intended for tightly cooperating
modules using very internal symbols it is logical to restrict it to
being used on EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and prevent nvidia from costly DMCA
Circumvention of Access Controls law suites.
All symbols except for four used through symbol_get were already exported
as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, and the remaining four ones were switched over in
the preparation patches.
