Subject: linux-next: build warning after merge of the akpm-current tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) produced this warning:

fs/super.c: In function 'sget_userns':
fs/super.c:521:2: warning: ignoring return value of 'register_shrinker', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
  register_shrinker(&s->s_shrink);
  ^
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.c: In function 'ttm_pool_mm_shrink_init':
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.c:451:2: warning: ignoring return value of 'register_shrinker', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
  register_shrinker(&manager->mm_shrink);
  ^
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc_dma.c: In function 'ttm_dma_pool_mm_shrink_init':

Yes, I realise that it is meant to flush the users out ...
