It seems the build error is caused by a dependency on Lorenzo Stoakes'
recent MM change ("mm: update all remaining mmap_prepare users to use
vma_flags_t"), which replaces vm_flags with vma_flags in struct
vm_area_desc.
I will update the ntfs tree to align with this change and ensure it
builds correctly against the current -next.
Thanks for your help!
