Subject: sparse warnings in overflow.h


Hi Kees,

sparse (make C=1) gives me this warnings today...

./include/linux/overflow.h:254:13: error: undefined identifier '__builtin_mul_overflow'
./include/linux/overflow.h:254:13: error: incorrect type in conditional
./include/linux/overflow.h:254:13:    got void
./include/linux/overflow.h:256:13: error: undefined identifier '__builtin_add_overflow'
./include/linux/overflow.h:256:13: error: incorrect type in conditional
./include/linux/overflow.h:256:13:    got void

This hunk obviously fixes it, but I'm really not sure if it is a proper 
fix.

Any idea?
