KSM broken in the CONFIG_MMU=n case

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

Hi Hugh,

The KSM code is broken in the CONFIG_MMU=n case as enum ttu_flags is required,
but not defined.  Simply predeclaring it doesn't help as the argument isn't a
pointer to a value of that type.

I've attached a patch below to deal with it; it's a bit messy, though, as the
fallback ksm_exit() is required in both the NOMMU and no-KSM cases.

Subject: [PATCH] NOMMU: Fix KSM in the CONFIG_MMU=n case

Fix KSM in the CONFIG_MMU=n case:

In file included from kernel/fork.c:52:
include/linux/ksm.h:129: warning: 'enum ttu_flags' declared inside parameter list
include/linux/ksm.h:129: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
include/linux/ksm.h:129: error: parameter 2 ('flags') has incomplete type

by making most of linux/ksm.h contingent on CONFIG_MMU=y.  The fallback
version of ksm_exit() requires special handling as that is also used in the
MMU=y, KSM=n case.
