Please reword the comment to add a colon after the word "int" to match earlier
comments in the enum:

+	VM_UNUSED15=15,		/* was: int: nr_pdflush_threads */

Also, as long as you're changing this file, please fix the typo earlier in the
same enum:

-	VM_UNUSED2=2,		/* was; int: Linear or sqrt() swapout for hogs */
+	VM_UNUSED2=2,		/* was: int: Linear or sqrt() swapout for hogs */
