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

Hi Christian,

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

kernel/pid.c: In function '__do_sys_pidfd_open':
kernel/pid.c:652:7: error: 'fd' redeclared as different kind of symbol

Caused by commit

  9170fba40db0 ("pid: add pidfd_open()")

I have used the version of the pifd tree from next-20190327 for today.

Please do *not* use linux-next as a development tree (I have seen several
different version of this code over the past few days :-().  The rules
for linux-next included code include:
"
     * posted to the relevant mailing list,
     * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
     * successfully unit tested, and 
     * destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him
to fetch)."
