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

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Al,

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

fs/orangefs/symlink.c:26:2: error: unknown field 'follow_link' specified in initializer
  .follow_link = pvfs2_follow_link,
  ^
fs/orangefs/symlink.c:26:17: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
  .follow_link = pvfs2_follow_link, 
                 ^
fs/orangefs/symlink.c:26:17: note: (near initialization for 'pvfs2_symlink_inode_operations.put_link')

Caused by commit

  6b2553918d8b ("replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode")

[I wish there was some way to stage these API changes :-(]

I applied the following merge fix patch (which may need more work):
