In fact, any non-SMP compile, it's not ARM-specific.

The simple fix for the build breakage should be to just move the
mnt_longterm thing out of the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in
include/linux/mount.h. But I do worry that it would cause some count
imbalance, because there are some accesses that are still inside that
CONFIG_SMP case in mntput_no_expire().

Al, please take a look,
