XFS needlessly depends on exportfs.ko due to the use of
find_exported_dentry().  XFS does not need to use this symbol as it
is provided by a vector through the superblock export operations
when the filesystem is exported by NFS. The fix is to call that
vector instead of using the exported symbol directly.

        - remove exportfs.ko dependency by calling the find_exported_dentry
          export op vector rather than directly calling find_exported_dentry().
