Gah, thanks Randy. The ifdefs aren't horrible but could I suggest a
slight tweak?

Subject: [PATCH] kernel/user.c: fix build when EPOLL not enabled

Fix build errors in kernel/user.c when CONFIG_EPOLL is not set/enabled.

../kernel/user.c: In function ‘free_user’:
../kernel/user.c:141:30: error: ‘struct user_struct’ has no member named ‘epoll_watches’; did you mean ‘nr_watches’?
percpu_counter_destroy(&up->epoll_watches);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from ../include/linux/sched/user.h:7:0,
from ../kernel/user.c:17:
../kernel/user.c: In function ‘alloc_uid’:
../kernel/user.c:189:33: error: ‘struct user_struct’ has no member named ‘epoll_watches’; did you mean ‘nr_watches’?
if (percpu_counter_init(&new->epoll_watches, 0, GFP_KERNEL)) {
^
../kernel/user.c:203:33: error: ‘struct user_struct’ has no member named ‘epoll_watches’; did you mean ‘nr_watches’?
percpu_counter_destroy(&new->epoll_watches);

Also fix type: "cpunter" -"counter" in a panic message.
