When the mmu_feature_keys[] was introduced in the commit c12e6f24d413
("powerpc: Add option to use jump label for mmu_has_feature()"),
it is unlikely that it would be used either directly or indirectly in
the out of tree modules. So we exported it as GPL only.

But with the evolution of the codes, especially the PPC_KUAP support, it
may be indirectly referenced by some primitive macro or inline functions
such as get_user() or __copy_from_user_inatomic(), this will make it
impossible to build many non GPL modules (such as ZFS) on ppc
architecture. Fix this by exposing the mmu_feature_keys[] to the non-GPL
modules too.

Fixes: 7613f5a66bec ("powerpc/64s/kuap: Use mmu_has_feature()")
