  This is the same situation as with lib/proportions.c. The functions are
there for API completeness. As far as I'm looking the whole 'single'
section is unused so ifdeffing it out might make sense (and also ifdeffing
out fprop_inc_single() from include/linux/flex_proportions.h). Removing
fprop_global_destroy() is IMO pointless churn.
