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

Hi all,

After merging the tip tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allnoconfig)
failed like this:

In file included from arch/x86/kernel/x8664_ksyms_64.c:10:0:
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:38:8: error: unknown type name 'spinlock_t'
 extern spinlock_t pgd_lock;
        ^

Probably caused by commit

  186f43608a5c ("x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h")

I added this patch for today (maybe adding the include to
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h would be better?):

Subject: [PATCH] x86/kernel: include spinlock_types.h for missing spinlock_t
