[PATCH] x86/irqflags: provide a declaration for native_save_fl

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Fri Aug 03 2018 - 13:05:57 EST


Fixes commit d0a8d9378d16 ("x86/paravirt: Make native_save_fl() extern
inline").

It was reported that the above commit was causing users of gcc < 4.9 to
observe -Werror=missing-prototypes errors.

Indeed, it seems that:
extern inline unsigned long native_save_fl(void) { return 0; }

compiled with -Werror=missing-prototypes produces this warning in gcc <
4.9, but not gcc >= 4.9.
