I'm not sure if it's a cosmetic change or not. I thought declaring
to-be-static function as extern is against our coding
standard. Moreover, if someone wants to change near the place in the
source code in the future, changes made to head may not be easily back
patched or cherry-picked to older branches if I do not back patch it.
