Did not get it. AFAICS it is the same from last version and does not cross
80 characters limit on that line.

We can do that. Though it will be a stand alone (not inside #ifdef) as it
already takes care of CONFIG_KPROBES via kprobes_built_in(). Will change
it and in which case the above declaration in mm.h would not be required.
