Subject: [PATCH] FILESYSTEMS:  Delete unused "int dummy[5]" from inodes_stat_t.


Delete the apparently unused array "int dummy[5]" from struct
inodes_stat_t.

Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@...dspring.com>

---

  no idea what that array is for, but no one seems to care about it.
removal compile-tested on x86 with "make allyesconfig" and nobody
misses it (unless it's used for padding of some kind).
