[PATCH] Fix mempolicy.h build error

From: Ralf Baechle
Date: Tue Jun 06 2006 - 10:24:10 EST


<linux/mempolicy.h> uses struct mm_struct and relies on a definition or
declaration somehow magically being dragged in which may result in a
build:

[...]
CC mm/mempolicy.o
In file included from mm/mempolicy.c:69:

include/linux/mempolicy.h:150: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want

make[1]: *** [mm/mempolicy.o] Error 1
make: *** [mm] Error 2

Including <linux/sched.h> is a step into direction of include hell so
fixed by adding a forward declaration of struct mm_struct instead.
