Sorry for my late reply.

I will send this to Andrew to report and fix the regression on the -mm
patch series.

I'd like to change the patch title to something like "nilfs2: Remove
redundant code"
since the "mm/fs" prefix does not properly represent what it applies to.
(this patch may be folded into the patch that is causing the warning)

Regards,
