as far I know you need to convert 3 symbols to EXPORT_SYMBOL instead
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. That are

__rt_mutex_init
migrate_enable
migrate_disable

You could find them in the source by

grep 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(migrate_disable)' -R ./

./kernel/sched.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(migrate_disable);

grep 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(migrate_enable)' -R ./

./kernel/sched.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(migrate_enable);

grep 'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__rt_mutex_init)' -R ./

/kernel/rtmutex.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__rt_mutex_init)

With a proper sed you could replace it, or do it by hand.
But I'm no Nvidia user, cant promise that this is right.
That is just what I've heard.
Note, doing this as end user didn't violate the GPL.
