The sigmask_lock is a spinlock variable as a part of task_struct. The
original author of userfs used this variable to mask incoming signals,
because he wanted certain part of the filesystem to be uninterruptible.
This compiles without any problem on my computer. The task_struct is
declared in <linux/sched.h> include file. Check it in your environment,
if nothing's missing. If you'll still have problems to get it compiled,
let me know with more information about your trouble.
