Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the userns tree

Hi Eric,

After merging the userns tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

kernel/sched/numa.c: In function 'ng_allowed':
kernel/sched/numa.c:1270:16: error: 'struct user_struct' has no member named 'user_ns'
kernel/sched/numa.c:1270:40: error: 'struct user_struct' has no member named 'user_ns'
kernel/sched/numa.c:1278:28: error: 'struct user_struct' has no member named 'user_ns'

Caused by commit a2dae61eb839 ("sched/numa: Introduce sys_numa_{t,m}bind
()") from the tip tree interacting with commit d0bd6594e286 ("userns:
Deprecate and rename the user_namespace reference in the user_struct")
from the userns tree.

I applied this merge fix up patch (more may be required):
