Subject: [PATCH] hugetlbfs: publish HUGETLBFS_MAGIC via linux/magic.h

statfs(2)'s man page (release 3.21) lists HUGETLBFS_MAGIC among the other
constants, as one would expect. It's not actually exported, though; it's
buried within inode.c in fs/hugetlbfs/ (iirc, the kvm userland code has
cut-and-pasted the definition into their sources). This patch brings the
exported interface into conformance with documentation, is necessary for
[f]statfs(2)-based verification of hugetlbfs mounts, and eliminates a
duplicate definition of TMPFS_MAGIC floating around in smack_lsm.c.

This is against 2.6.30-rc1. --rigorously, nick
