Subject: [PATCH 4.9 026/107] x86/irqflags: Provide a declaration for native_save_fl

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@...gle.com>

commit 208cbb32558907f68b3b2a081ca2337ac3744794 upstream.

It was reported that the commit d0a8d9378d16 is causing users of gcc < 4.9
to observe -Werror=missing-prototypes errors.

Indeed, it seems that:
extern inline unsigned long native_save_fl(void) { return 0; }

compiled with -Werror=missing-prototypes produces this warning in gcc <
4.9, but not gcc >= 4.9.

Fixes: d0a8d9378d16 ("x86/paravirt: Make native_save_fl() extern inline").
