Subject: [PATCH 3.16 21/86] x86/asm: Error out if asm/jump_label.h is
 included inappropriately

3.16.68-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

commit c28454332fe0b65e22c3a2717e5bf05b5b47ca20 upstream.

Rather than potentially generating incorrect code on a
non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL kernel if someone includes asm/jump_label.h,
error out.
