PATCH 1/1 rm pointless dmaengine exports

This removes several pointless exports from drivers/dma/dmaengine.c; the dma_async_memcpy_*() functions are inlined by <linux/dmaengine.h> so those exports are inappropriate.

It also moves the existing EXPORT_SYMBOL declarations next to their functions, so it's now trivial to confirm one-to-one correspondence between exports and nonstatic symbols.

By the way ... I'm sure that I'm not the only one to observe how odd it is that a "DMA Engine" framework is purely a memcpy() offload engine.

It overlooks the primary use of DMA in Linux: peripheral I/O, which may well involve the same kind of dual-access engines this framework assumes. DMA controllers on embedded Linuxes commonly support a few dozen logical DMA channels supporting hardware-synchronized transfers to/from most peripheral devices. Memory-to-memory DMA would often also work ... but wouldn't address IRQ rate issues of PIO drivers.
