linux-next: build failure after merge of the vfs tree

Hi Al,

After merging the vfs tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

fs/super.c:230:13: error: static declaration of 'put_super' follows non-static declaration
include/linux/fs.h:2493:13: note: previous declaration of 'put_super' was here

Caused by commit eab99e355c00 ("trim fs/internal.h") interacting with
commit 4789fd4495a4 ("quota: Fix deadlock with suspend and quotas") from
the ext3 tree.

I applied the following (probably not the best) merge fix patch for today:
