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

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

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

mm/madvise.c: In function '__do_sys_process_madvise':
mm/madvise.c:1194:9: error: implicit declaration of function 
'compat_import_iovec'; did you mean 'import_iovec'? 
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
 1194 |   ret = compat_import_iovec(READ,
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |         import_iovec

Caused by commits

  b50ef3fed31c ("mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external 
memory hinting API")
  84b51d510a77 ("mm: do not use helper functions for process_madvise")

interacting with commit

  e42ff3fae0a2 ("iov_iter: transparently handle compat iovecs in import_iovec")

from the vfs tree.

I have applied the folloing patch for today:
