This should be static and hidden from other modules, e.g. have a look at
netevent_notif_chain (net/core/netevent.c).

Instead, this should be accessed via registration/un-registration handlers
for notifier blocks, and those can then be exported as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
as this is core area.

Also here a small one-line handler call_clock_change_notifiers() would be
better.
