patch with the fix

This command does not work with priority_basic plugin:

# sshare
sshare: error: plugin_load_from_file: dlopen(/cm/shared/apps/slurm/23.02.2/lib64/slurm/priority_basic.so): /cm/shared/apps/slurm/23.02.2/lib64/slurm/priority_basic.so: undefined symbol: job_list
sshare: error: Couldn't load specified plugin name for priority/basic: Dlopen of plugin file failed
sshare: error: cannot create priority context for priority/basic
sshare: fatal: failed to initialize priority plugin

The symbol is missing in priority_basic.so however it is defined in priority_multifactor.so:

# nm -gD /cm/shared/apps/slurm/23.02.2/lib64/slurm/priority_basic.so | grep job_list
                U job_list
# nm -gD /cm/shared/apps/slurm/23.02.2/lib64/slurm/priority_multifactor.so | grep job_list
000000000020b330 B job_list

The problem does not happen in slurm23.02-1. This commit introduces the problem:
https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/1473e5c287fa4d9e32264123a474ece1731e6fa1

It can be fixed by defining the missing symbol in priority_basic.c, mush the same way it is already done in priority_multifactor.c

Attached patch with the fix.

Thanks Taras. This fix will be in 23.02.3 when released:

    Fix sshare with priority/basic.
    
    Needs a weak symbol for job_list, otherwise the plugin will not load
    outside of slurmctld.
    
    Bug 16822.
