commit 5829b0ecc584d15ae4eeabe69f2ab554bdec4689 upstream.

export the __node_distances symbol in the ip27 memory code to fix the
build error:

  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 311 modules
ERROR: "__node_distances" [drivers/block/nvme.ko] undefined!
scripts/Makefile.modpost:90: recipe for target '__modpost' failed

when building the kernel with:
