linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

Caused by commit 88991182643c ("ocfs2: add dlm_recover_callback_support
in sysfs") interacting with commit 58f86cc89c33
("VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS: stricter checking for sysfs perms") from the
modules tree.

I applied this fix up patch for today:
