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

Hi Andrew,

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

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/sysctl.o: in function `.LANCHOR0':
sysctl.c:(.data+0x7b4): undefined reference to `fragment_stall_order_sysctl_handler'

Caused by commit

  a247ff3201c1 ("mm: stall movable allocations until kswapd progresses during serious external fragmentation event")

The fragment_stall_order_sysctl_handler() definition is protected by
CONFIG_NUMA, so I added this fix patch for today:
