Subject: linux-next: ext4 tree build warning

Hi Ted,

The linux-next builds (ppc64 allyesconfig) produce this warning:
(I built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y)

WARNING: fs/ext4/ext4.o(.text+0x5b6c8): Section mismatch in reference from the function .exit_ext4_mballoc() to the function .exit.text:.ext4_remove_debugfs_entry()
The function .exit_ext4_mballoc() references a function in an exit section.
Often the function .ext4_remove_debugfs_entry() has valid usage outside the exit section
and the fix is to remove the __exit annotation of .ext4_remove_debugfs_entry.

Cheers,
