Commit e634d8fc792c ("x86-64: merge the standard and compat
start_thread() functions") removed exporting for the start_thread()
function in what seems like a typo. Add it back to
arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c for parity with process_32.c and other
arch.
What for? Perhaps 32-bit could remove it instead?
Came across this while writing a binfmt module. Useful for me but
probably no one else on Earth, at least for another ~9 years on average.
