Okay, here it is. The result is compile-tested.

Changes since v1:

* Remove the module-export for unmap_kernel_range and make zsmalloc
  built-in instead

Here is the patch:

Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: zsmalloc: Fix link error on ARM

Testing the arm chromebook config against the upstream
kernel produces a linker error for the zsmalloc module from
staging. The symbol flush_tlb_kernel_range is not available
there. Fix this by removing the reimplementation of
unmap_kernel_range in the zsmalloc module and using the
function directly. The unmap_kernel_range function is not
usable by modules, so also disallow building the driver as a
module for now.
