Subject: sparc64: Remove RWSEM export leftovers

[ Upstream commit 61d9b9355b0d427bd1e732bd54628ff9103e496f ]

The functions

			__down_read
			__down_read_trylock
			__down_write
			__down_write_trylock
			__up_read
			__up_write
			__downgrade_write

are implemented inline, so remove corresponding EXPORT_SYMBOLs
(They lead to compile errors on RT kernel).
