It seems as if you used the vanilla 2.4.17 kernel-source in which the two
symbols are exported. However, the default debian kernel is built with
the s390-specific patch (kernel-patch-2.4.17-s390-....deb) applied to
the vanilla kernel source code. The patch removes the above two lines.

When you use the patched kernel source code for building the openafs-module
the module loads without any problems (as I just verified on my system).
