The function LZ4HC_setExternalDict is declared static and marked
EXPORT_SYMBOL, which is at best an odd combination. Because the function
is not used outside of the lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c file it is defined in,
this commit removes the EXPORT_SYMBOL() marking.

Andrew, could you please look at this patch and accept it if everybody agrees?
static LZ4HC_setExternalDict will trigger a warning after this check
will be in tree https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/14/118
There is also a different fix by Arnd Bergmann with making this function non-static:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/6/669
But since there is no uses of this EXPORT_SYMBOL in kernel and LZ4HC_setExternalDict
is indeed static in the original library https://github.com/lz4/lz4/blob/dev/lib/lz4hc.c#L1054
we came to the conclusion that it will be better to simply unexport the symbol.
Thanks,
Denis

Right, this version is better than mine.
