Subject: linux-next: vfs/fsnotify trees build warning

Hi Eric, Al,

Today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig) produced these warnings:

In file included from include/linux/security.h:26,
                 from fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_iops.c:56:

I am not sure why these started turning up (they were there on Friday as
well and I may have missed them earlier).
