Possibly related remark from homepage (https://aufs.sourceforge.net/)
regarding kernels 6.12+:

"I don't know why but NFSv4 on my test environment stopped working.
So all these versions are NOT tested with NFSv4 branch."

Most likely aufs upstream does not even enable AUFS_EXPORT which is the
only user of these two symbols and that's why they didn't even notice
exports are missing. Perhaps we should disable it too then?
