Yes this appears to have been a silent merge conflict between my user
namespace tree and your staging tree.

I care because it breaks my builds.

This build failure only shows up when CONFIG_USER_NS is enabled which
would have required a randconfig build in linux-next for it to show up.

When I get the last of the filesystems converted for 3.8 this kind of
failure should stop hiding in the more customary build checks.

I figured I found it, I fixed it, and I am going to be carrying the fix
anyway in my tree, so why not make it easy on everyone and make it a
patch that can be pulled.
