Export access_remote_vm as GPL symbol to allow debuggers (eudebug)
to access and modify memory in target VMs by tracking VM_BIND
operations. While access_process_vm() is already exported, it would
require maintaining task references in the debugger.

Since the mm reference is already present in the userptr's mm notifier
implementation, exporting access_remote_vm allows that existing reference
to be used directly without needing to obtain and maintain additional
task references just for memory access.
